My Mum and Dad emphasised the importance of reading from an early age. They took me to the children's library and, also, every week I got the Beano, Dandy, Topper and Beezer

I had two older brothers. I would try to read what they were reading. I saw friends with comics, but I, sort of, just skipped that stage.

You missed out on Corky the Cat, Dennis the Menace, Beryl the Peril and Mickey the Monkey!

I've also missed out on Big Brother, I'm Desperate To Not Get Out Of The Jungle and Traitors (so far).

We can agree on that!
I get astonished looks when I say "Never seen Traitors".

I alternated between the Beano & Dandy, then migrated to the Victor & Hotspur. The wife said 35 years old was too old for the Victor.

Summers hols saw mum & dad buy me the Commando comics
