When and where were you born? How much did you weigh at birth?, I was born on 24th January 1943, just in time for tea at my maternal grandmother's house, 21 Kelmscot Close Watford. Weight unknown. Do you know whether it was an easy birth for your mother? No, but I imagine it was straightforward as it was in Granny's house but I know that I was born with the cord around my neck. How old were your parents when you were born? My mother was twenty eight and my father thirty one. Why were you given your first names? Unfortunately I never discussed this with them
