List the scars on your body.



My only scar is about an inch long just above my right knee and was caused by my enthusiasm for the Batman TV series starring Adam West back in 1966 when I was 7. We had just moved house and the parents had used a few wooden tea chests (remember loose tea?) to move their stuff. I was playing inside one of said chests in the dining room, when my Dad shouted out from the lounge that their was a promo for Batman on TV. Tyne Tees had been showing teaser trailers for about a week before the series started, with a countdown....."7 days to Batday....6 days to Batday...etc..etc... I jumped out of the chest, slicing open my leg on the remains of the razor-sharp metal foil used to keep the tea fresh, around the edges of the chest. There was a lot of blood.
