"It was in Portsmouth that I first became aware of venereal disease. I was seven at the time. In a toilet by the South Parade Pier I prepared to obey my father's injunction: - Never, ever, hang around in a public urinal. Do you business, wash your hands and leave. A notice on the wall detained me. Should anyone, I read, think he'd been infected with a venereal disease, he should immediately immerse his member in a solution of potassium permanganate. Odd. That was the purple solution with which my grandmother masked her greying hair. The only member of whom I was aware was her acquaintance, the Conservative Member of Parliament for Twickenham. I imagined prim Mr Edward Keeling, steeped in purple liquid and beginning to resemble a ripe chestnut. Would he have remembered to remove his horn-rimmed glasses?" from the cover Secondhand booksellers |
