Transcription
The bottom of the street there, there were two houses, a big, great big house there, and prostitutes came here. Of course, the Americans all came there, and they tumbled to it, they got the disease, so it was made out of bounds. We always used to meet a friend on the tower. That was a place where we'd arranged to meet. But when they come, they get their handbags and slosh you one. They thought you were taking their pitch. You daren’t go round the tower after that, hit you with their handbags, got ever so nasty. Of course they all come over and chose where they wanted to stand, you see.
