....oh and remember that 'children's fancy dress party' that the fishwick family had hosted - late 60s, blackheath - dazzlenation?....because haywood had attended - see previous post...and yes, i can remember now....it had been little andrew who had first dubbed him 'clown-face'....anyway, i had been dressed up in a 'zebra' paperbag dress, at the time....whilst RH had been given a 'tiger' number, by the gydes....turned out, there were no holes for the arms...sylvia had made holes for the eyes but not etc etc...and so in order to eat, we had to take the costumes off - for mrs fishwick to then tear holes in the sides....little colin then decided that he wanted to wear the 'zebra' number, which by that point in time - had sustained a large rip under one armhole but he was quite content, eating his cake and jelly (and yes, he had created a hole for his head to go through, by that point in time)...oh and oscar hadn't been too happy, later on....apparently he had been supposed to give the paperbag 'costumes' back to whoever had loaned them out etc etc..."animals in the zoo party" replies BI online..."obviously they hadn't been intended for party gear"....i wonder who had loaned them, then?...and what their original use had been?....go figure:
