I was born at 4:55pm on December 15th, 1956, at the Fiveways Hospital, Yeovil, Somerset. England.
Other events of the day included:
- Israeli troops invading the Sinai Peninsula.
- The Suez Crisis occurring.
- Japan joining the UN.
- Soviet troops entering Hungary, with martial law declared.
- The first transatlantic cable telephone service beginning.
Elvis Presley had FOUR hit singles in the Top 40 though, on the 15th, Guy Mitchell held the number one position with “Singing the Blues”.
Just Walking in the Rain by Johnny Ray is number 1 in the charts.
“Yep. It’s true, Chris. You and I were mixed up when we were born and we were given to each other’s mothers by mistake – until someone discovered the error!“

Something else also happened that day …
Raymond Trask. School friend.
We’ll meet Raymond Trask again later when he and I are about 7 years old and I’m hemmed in and threatened with a knife in the the corner of a hedgerow den Raymond and I had been playing in by a teenager named ‘Ayling’ adjacent to Raymond’s house in Westfield Place.
