My second date was with a girl called Lorraine who was in my class at school. I asked her to the movies (age 11) and waited expectantly for her to turn up at the Clock Cinema.  Turn up she did and gave me a right bollocking for asking her friends whether she was a good [...]

My first date was with a girl called Theresa who won the girl’s ‘twisting’ competition in 1965 at a church hall in Chapletown, Leeds. My claim to fame was that I won the boys competition at the same time. The next day we went on our date which was basically a meeting in the cloakroom [...]
