Born and raised in "a street where there was so much villainy going on that at night the police would only come down in twos", Sidney Day grew up in grinding poverty. Now ninety-three, he remembers everyday life in a world of pub brawls, horse and cart journeys, courting couples in Parliament Hill Fields, public baths and washpots and bread and dripping round the range.
He goes on to tell of the Second World War and his determination to survive for his family, "the only thing that ever counted".
