Gareth Goldthorpe: An Eccentric Childhood

Gareth Goldthorpe is a very fit and young looking sixty one year old, who has been a bookbinder for the last twenty years. In his interview, he talks about his unconventional and somewhat eccentric childhood, being sent off to boarding school at the tender age of five, and how he ran away, traveling some fifteen miles back to his parent's home. He then goes on to tell us about a golden time, when childhood seemed more adventurous while being carefree and relaxed:  How he and his brothers cycled some thirty five miles to see the new Gatwick airport, at the age of eight years old.
