"He's Behind You" #22

...um or the solicitors’ letters. The parrot, Percy, would pick up on this and when an antique dealer came round one day, the parrot told him to ‘B----r’ off! It nearly lost him the deal! If my dad was on the phone, the parrot would be squawking it’s head off, which nearly drove him mad and he’d end up shouting (and swearing!) at the parrot to shut up! (If anyone’s ever heard a parrot squawk, it’s worse than a peacock!) It was quite comical really if you tried not to think about my dad’s temper, especially when someone walked into the lounge one day and Percy said to my dad, “He’s behind you!”
We should have put him in the pantomime...

...MIDNIGHT POOL PARTIES: After leaving school I spent a year at Burton-on-Trent Technical College studying to be a secretary but my year at college had come to an end - now to find a job! It didn’t take too long as there was plenty of employment around in those days and I was soon offered a position with a small engineering firm in Burton. As I didn’t drive there was still the problem of me getting to work and dad managed to talk the residents of the apartments into taking me, as they were going to Burton every day as well, and it would save him coming out twice a day (no doubt he was thinking about the petrol he would save too!)

It was quite comical really if you tried not to think about my dad’s temper – but absolutely hilarious when someone walked into the lounge one day and Percy said to my dad, “He’s behind you!”
