I was born in 1947, and for the first seven years of my life had an outside toilet, which really frightened me.It was dark, cold & lonely so I invented three friends who could come with me, David, Dennis & Helen. I kept these friends for many years & mother was so worried she actually went to the Doctors about me. He said it was because at that time I was an "only" child.
