in Snippets

📚 Finished reading Thatcher Stole My Trousers by Alexei Sayle. This is his second autobiography, covering the period after he left school to the early 1980s, by which time he had become a popular live comedian. Sayle is one of those people whom I have vague fond memories of from my childhood, but I didn’t really know much about. His TV programme Alexei Sayle’s Stuff seemed edgy to me when I was 11 years old. I also remember when people used to burst into singing the title of ’Ullo John! Gotta New Motor? without warning. An enjoyable journey through his years of leaving home and starting a career.
