I like to ride my bike around with Neil and we wind up the coppers by shouting things at them until they chase us. They use push bikes like us so it’s good fun them coming after us. There’s one called Wendy and we call her Wendy House, and she sometimes chases us. She’s all right really and I don’t think she minds too much.

I’ve behaved better since I’ve been at the Eston Centre rather than my old school. I didn’t like normal school and I told the teachers they were fat cunts because they annoyed me. I used to run out of lessons and fight, and I was cheeky, so in the end I was chucked out. Now if we behave we get taken out to do bike riding and quad biking, and those sorts of things, which makes the work seem more worthwhile. And there’s one teacher who I like called Trish, who brings in her Yorkshire Terrier.

I live with my mum and I have a big brother and two sisters. I don’t remember when my dad left my mum but I know it was a long time ago. I think he left before our house in Salisbury Crescent was demolished. My dad’s been in gaol but he’s out now and living in Stockton.
