Saturday, 26th June 1976

Lesley Close and Deborah Sutch at the Waltzer’s on the Fairfield at Silcock’s Fair c.1976.

Went work in morning worked very hard all day in hot weather. On my dinner break met this girl who I don’t know but I’ve seen her a few times. Walked round town went back on Co-op café for a second time, came out quick first time coz Cath came in. At 6pm when I came out that girl was outside the shop with a goldfish*. I went back in shop with her coz her bag was leaking. Walked home went nans, had tea and did a job for grandad. Went round fair at night . Cath was there sat near her for a bit but never spoke. Went on Dodgems with Neil, Cath was on, don’t know why but I kept banging into her on purpose, don’t know why.

* Don’t know what this girls name was she was only about 12 and had a goldfish in a polythene bag that she must have won on the fair. The bag was leaking. She had a bit of a crush on me, I felt a sorry for her. Never saw her again after that.

Diary of a Lovesick Teenager

Because this is a diary, it was written at the time and at no point are there any exaggerations, lies or anything that may be misleading, it is written with an honest, if naive hand due to the tender age of it’s author. It can be described as funny, a little sad in parts and reflects my thoughts at the time, but most of all it is an honest document that I hope above all will entertain and amuse.
