<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Christmasjoy, post: 444060, member: 164&quot;]I learned to read at the age of 4yrs. attending Primary School in England shortly after the war&nbsp; ..&nbsp; I picked up on it swiftly and always have enjoyed reading.&nbsp; As money was short at that time we settled on comics from the junk (thrift) shop, bought for threepence for six old comics.&nbsp; I devoured the stories with great relish ..&nbsp; Beano, Schoolgirl, Dennis the menace (ours had black hair), An ugly cowboy named Dan ( I can&#039;t remember his full name, maybe some of you other Brits can supply it)&nbsp; ... also my older brother got hold of a little soft cover book called &#039;The Secret Seven&#039; and he proceeded to call us lot &#039;The Secret Five,&nbsp; our duties were to spy on our neighbors, my mum and dad, and anybody else we could think of&nbsp; .... whereas my brother would write it all down in his notebook. His book was filled with the comings and goings of our neighbors and friends, fights and disagreements all included.&nbsp; Then my mother found the book and all hell broke loose&nbsp; ..&nbsp; we were sent to our rooms with sore arses and tears.&nbsp; My mother did tell us how invasive we had been and that our actions had been despicable and cruel etc. It didn&#039;t stop my love of books but it did teach me a good life lesson,&nbsp; Happy New Year All&nbsp; ...&nbsp; Joy.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
