Teddy Boys were about then, and I won’t say everybody, but a lot of people – your drainpipe trousers and your drape jackets and your DA haircuts.
Where would you get these clothes from?
Burtons! Yeah, Burtons was one shop, I always remember. There was Irish Manufacturing, I used to buy stuff from there.
What did the shoes have to be like?
Well, I mean, if you were going to be really in you’d got to have the crepe sole creepers, you know, the thick crepe sole shoes. The socks were, they used to kill my feet, but they were nylon, fluorescent pinks and blues and yellow, but nylon - did they ever make your feet sweat!
The trousers…?
Drainpipes. Quite a variety of colours, the jackets. Maroon-y colour, grey, all with the black velvet collars. Very wide lapels, very wide lapels. Shirts – you could get fancy shirts – frills on the front with the… some of them with the frills with the black edging on them. Bootlace ties. Yeah, fairly expensive, they wasn’t cheap. I don’t suppose it was a lot more expensive than if you went in to buy a good suit.
And was this a look that you had if you wanted to be rebellious or was it a look that everybody was going for anyway?
A bit of both. Mainly, if you wanted to be rebellious. You’d got people that were on the fringes, they wanted to look like that but they didn’t particularly want to be rebellious.

Most people went into apprenticeships or just into labouring jobs. The trouble was that, at that time, when I left school, National Service was in, so if people – lads anyway, not girls, because they didn’t do it – lads that left school, if they didn’t go into an apprenticeship they was usually into labouring-type jobs and companies knew that they’d only got them for a couple or three years anyway because the minute they got to 18 they’re doing their National Service for two years, so they lost them anyway. You got a lot of lads that - I mean, I must admit I was a little bit envious of a lot of them – because they were doing labouring-type jobs and earning, in that day and age, good money. With myself, I did a five year apprenticeship and started on seven pence farthing an hour (approx. 3p), which worked out about £1.50 a week.

Transcription

We went camping with them – Normanton – and it was fantastic, I’ve still got photographs of all the people and still see some of the people now.
So what else did you do apart from the camping?
They organised bus trips, so we went to Derwent Water, and we went to the seaside. Just being together and having a good time. We had a lot of debates, you know.
What sort of things did you debate?
Well, it was funny, because they decided to have a debate on swearing, and I went and I said, ‘How could you possibly have a debate on swearing when there’s only one word? We can’t talk for a whole evening on one word.’ And so they had to change it because I didn’t know – there was just one word and it rhymed with ’sugar’ – so that was it, so they had to… room went quiet and they said we’ll change the debate. We had a Youth Parliament and the Youth Parliament used to debate all sorts of things.
You mentioned about the parks earlier didn’t you?
Yes, we actually, our League of Youth and group, got the parks to be open on a Sunday so we could play games on a Sunday.
And who ran the organisation?
It was the Labour Party, the Labour League of Youth. But then, when we went to the big debates, there was the Conservatives and Communists, all sorts there, we mixed with all sorts of different people.
That must have been interesting.
Yes, it was, we learnt a lot, you know.
