Those were the days, my friend saying Mary Hopkin in the sixties and they were golden healthy in days when our main aim in life was making enough money to keep us in fashion to attract boys. Working for Ralph Edwards architect did not yield a good wage, although I did get to serve tea and biscuits soggy ones to Reese Winston, about to embark on publication off his first book. Of course I remember you, my dear, he wrote years later. Money I wanted So to the northern insurance company. I went each morning, winding my way between cases of fruits spilling onto Queens Charlotte Street, tottering on my six inch stilettos, trying to avoid bananas on rotting cabbage leaves finally coming to in Caroline's cake shop. After a strong black coffee and a *** herring round the corner past the half finished rank Xerox building with the sound of wolf whistles and hey, dusty in my ears, I would stagger up the steps and fall into the all hallowed arms of the company to make money on watch Stan pick his nose discreetly, or so he thought at the back of the office. Tea breaks would find us comparing notes on the night before, with Joan continually falling in love with different aspiring actors who boarded with her aunt once it was an Irish one named Peter O'Toole.
