Hi I like to tell you about where I came from and how I learn from all this dreadful nightmare that started!
I am the youngest of six children's,five boys one girl born and bred in a town call Brighton where my parents came over to look for a new life,we didn't have much money those days and there wasn't really that much jobs out there.
My dad had to look for anything he can find to survive and my mum found a job working for the navy as my mum was very good at knitting and sawing on the machine,she use to do it by hands as well sawing the hats for the sailors or the pointed type that the captain wears while looking after all of us!
My dad found a job in a Chinese restaurant as a dish washer and then eventually became a chef and work the hours of god send.we lived in a one bedroom flat where we had to share with two other family living in the same building,oh yes I didn't tell you that I am a twin.
My father and mother couldn't speak much English so they have to rely on other people and trust!
Even those days people will rip you of because you don't speak the language.
It is a shame as we all got to rely on each other in life,who do you trust is the question?
My father and mother was doing really well and they manage to save a lot of money to buy their first home,we had more space to move but we still had to share a room with the brothers.The room was average size which I share with my twin and the fourth of our child, didn't mind though you have the whole house to live in which was blessed.
We had bunk beds then so it was nice,what do you know when your so young as long as you got food that is all you care about!
My father and mother brought a Chinese Take Away in a place call Burgess Hill about twenty to half a hour by train ,we were still so young at the time so we are always there with them while they were cooking and working and slavering over us at the same time.
When we got to the age when we can work which is no where ever legal in here,I mean nine years of age!
They also brought a Chinese Restaurant in Burgess Hill working very hard for the family.
My two elder brothers had to help out as waiters to the place while me and my twin brother had to stay in the kitchen and help out peeling a whole sack of potatoes by hand can you imagine how long that took!
We had to do as we are told as we are helping the family.
We did go to school but after school we also went to work,me and my twin took it in turns who would go to work.
