And the children seemed very unhappy.

I still remember the interaction with the two kids who I know went to private Catholic schools.

They seemed very unhappy, the kids.

So I just simply didn't understand it in any way.

And over the next couple of weeks, I had all my back teeth removed.

What do you mean you had your back teeth removed?

What do you mean?

Well, they took me to a dentist.

And by the way, they took me to a dentist in Brunswick Street, Fitzroy.

It's so cruel.

And my back teeth, top and bottom, on both sides of my mouth were taken out.

Did they check in with your mum at all?

No, they... Well, they hadn't checked in with my mother at all and I don't think that she would have approved.

So, no, there was no discussion with my family about this.

I was then taken to a barber shop and had my hair shaved.

And I had quite nice hair.

If you can imagine Paul McCartney as a five-year-old, that's me.

And I had my hair shaved and I spent the next two weeks in a sort of state of absolute misery...

in a house of people, and I think about this.

Sorry, Richard, I thought about this in later life.
