Growing Up As Psychic Twins
Introduction
My name is Jason Smith and I have two brothers and a sister. I am a twin with Graham who is five minutes younger than me. My younger brother Philip is eighteen months younger than us. My sister was born when me and Graham was five years old.
When we were very young my parents lived in Lymn in Cheshire in a two bedroomed bungalow. My father worked as a motor mechanic and my mother worked as a cake decorator and confectioner.
There was nothing special about our family we were just normal working class. I can remember my dad going out to work and on most occasions he would come home late in the evening.
I also remember my younger brother Philip being born at home we were so excited at having a younger brother. Philip was born in the September 1964 and although we were only eighteen months old we couldn't stop touching him and playing with him and as time went on we were all very close.
My mother had three children under the age of five. Looking back it must have been extremely hard for her at that particular time. Philip was always the quiet one I would say more of a mummy's boy however myself and Graham we used to get into all kinds of trouble. To this day I always say he led me astray. Graham was the black sheep of the family. But as twins go it was always follow my leader.
As time went on me and Graham started school I can remember our first day as though it was yesterday. I hated the thought of going to school. I am not sure what it was I did not like all I knew is I would have preferred to be at home. I think what it was we knew my mother was just about to have Lesley and we wanted to be at home. We felt as though we was missing out on something.
My father always wanted a girl and when Lesley was born in the April 1968 We all adored her she was our only baby sister. We wanted to hold her and touch her. We were all very proud of her. By this time we were all outgrowing the bungalow and needed to find somewhere bigger for us all. With the four children now all under the age of 6 there seemed to be quite a lot of arguments going on between my mother and father most of them were due to him not coming home from work on time to help my mother with us.
Every night when he was late he would say he had to work overtime or his boss wanted to take him for a drink. And because he didn't like saying no he used to just say its overtime. I think all this went on for a number of years, another thing I used to remember was my mother cooking his dinner for him but it would always be cold by the time he got home from work.
By this time my father was getting fed up of all the arguments and getting home late so he decided he wanted a change of direction from being a motor mechanic. To be honest I think my mother wanted him to change things as well. She felt as though his boss used to keep him out on purpose as he knew my dad had 4 young children at home. He decided he wanted to run a pub. My mother thought well if that's what he wanted to do at least she would know where he was most of the time, so she backed him up with his plans and he applied to the brewery to become a licensee.
But due to his lack of experience and knowledge his application was refused, so instead of giving up they bought an off licence which had its own living accommodation above the shop. This was not really ideal but my parents both thought for the short term it would give them the experience they needed before applying again to run a pub. So we were all happy to put up with the situation for the time being.
This was now giving my parents the experience they needed and to show the brewery that they could successfully run a business and work with the public. My parents worked hard and was there at the off licence for about two to three years by this time my father was itching to get his hands on his first pub. And by now I think he wanted to give his family some security. The pub would also give us children the space we were all now craving. Also my sister was getting older and would eventually need her own room at this point she was about 4 years old.
We were also coming up to the age of about nine years old so we all needed our own space too eventually the brewery decided to give my mother and father a pub to run. We were all so excited and from a child's point of view it was amazing. We had our own pool table, jukebox, and dart board, just to name a few things. We had so much to do it was great for us kids. But I guess from the parents view things were difficult they had so much more work on there hands from stock taking, serving customers, cleaning and managing the staff and cashing up before and after each session. and on top of all that they had four children to bathe and get ready for bed or school. It must have been very difficult for them.
My mother tried to get us into a routine as soon as possible and it had to be before the pub opened in the evening. This would normally be around five-thirty in those days pubs never opened all day so we had to be in bed early before the pub opened in the evening. So my father would come down maybe for the first hour or so to allow my mother to get us to bed and to do some washing and ironing. Once we were settled she would then join him down stairs to serve the customers.
The first pub my parents run was the Anchor Hotel on London road Blackburn. We had now moved from Cheshire to Blackburn. We also had to start new schools and meet new people however we soon settled in and with living in a pub we also met lots of new friends. They used to love coming to the pub on weekends playing pool and snooker when the pub
