Re: bitten by a monkey

If anyone knows the hill in front of the observatory in Greenwich Park, London, that's where I ran down, tripped and embedded the broken end of a bottle in my knee. I was 5. I can still remember it and still have the scar. In those days, 1966, they had a St Johns Ambulance tent for minor injuries. Think if a child cut themselves as badly today, it would have been hospital and stitches. Then it was lashings of iodine and a thick bandage a pat on the head and off you went.
