And, oh dear, it took a lot of chatting by my dad to convince him not to contact the police.

And the jeweller took it and he said, get out of my shop.

And we did.

Dad was shaking and I felt like crying.

Yes, yes, but I didn't because we never went in the shop.

And after that, Dad said, for God's sake, if you go out again, don't say you like anything.

Don't say you want anything.

I'd been there, I don't know how long, when the scissors started to disappear.

There was about a dozen women in the workroom and they would call out, my scissors are gone, who's had my scissors?

And I said, well, you're doing that with your feet, aren't you?

She said, no, I'm not.

So with that, they went around one side of the bed.

I said, you get around that side, Bill.

There was nothing under the bed, but I could still hear the banging.

In the early days of us recording, I did have a couple of nasty nightmares.

But it was a feeling of getting it off my chest.

And when we finished number eight, I thought, oh, now I can put it away again.

I'm more famous now than I was then.

I've read them since and got really furious because knowing what today, you know, how you could sue people, there was nothing of that in those days.

They could write what they like.
