Freddy Manny was born down the docks and tells of his many adventures around the area.
Mrs. Felix, down in the bay she had a cat that got mangy. It was all falling apart, bald patches every where. Of course in those days there was no outlet that you could take a cat so she asked if I could get rid of it. So 12 o'clock I got a sack put the cat in it took it over the canal with a stone I chucked it in. Of course I forget to tie a knot in it. So she had given me 5 shillings and it was burning a hole in my pocket because that was a lot of money then. I shot off the local cinema the central, which is where the oxford Arcade is now, gave my mother half a crown. I went to Woollies and had pie and chips, some sweets- a slap up afternoon. Got back home about quarter past five and my father said Mrs Felix has been around here playing hell. What did you do? So I told him and he said well the cat has just turned up on her doorstep soaking wet. She wanted her money back!
