| Hedley
Smith |
HEDLEY: We
used to call me granddad "dad", just "dad", and I
remember him taking me to school one day - junior school - and the headmistress
says "oh hello Mr Smith" and he says "oh I'm not Mr Smith"
- of course it was on me mother's side, his name was Mastin, but I'd said
"dad's brought me to school but it was me granddad really",
so... TITCH: Does that mean you called your dad "dad" an'all?
HEDLEY: Erm - I think I called me dad father - I'm quite formal, mother
and father, but me granddad was "dad", always "dad"
to me - strange child, wasn't I? (laugh)
