' Lady Jane Gardens is strange ... the look is seaside pebbledash. In the sunshine it gleams like a coral reef. In the wet the street is a rainbow of grey.'
The writing meanwhile is a dream which beckons you back into your own childhood.. . Alaistair knows exactly what he's doing.
Grandstand Versus World of Sport. Jimmy Saville is everywhere. Mr Faster Grant Kolley Kibber from Brighton Rock but in North Berwick not Brighton, Woolworth's Pick 'n' Mix. Charlton Heston in The Omega Man. It's the best fim about shyness that Alastair has ever seen.Rod Stewart came to North Berwick an almost nobody noticed.
He goes to see Slade. 'The tickets costs £1.50 and are printed on yellow paper with the band's name rendered in Umbra. ' Alastair buys a ticket, loses it while out in North Berwick buying shoes for the night with his mum. He runs to the Police Station where it has been handed in. The concert himself is far away the best evening of his entire young life.
