Remember When by Robert Mardle

Robert Mardle’s story includes snapshots of his life growing up as a teenaged troublemaker who lost his way. He recalls waking up in a cell one morning after borrowing the company’s van for a night out in Southend on Sea. A night out that cost him his job. Being served a delicious, cooked breakfast with a cup of tea wasn’t so bad though. He was an inexperienced drinker and can’t recall how he ended up in a government facility or how he had got there in the first place. Like the time I passed a police car on the Oxford ring road in my Black Porsche 911. It was raining. I probably thought I was Juan Carlos Fandango, night racing at Le Mans. I soon left plod behind…When along the M40 three police cars were putting on a really pretty blue light show just for me. On my turn I was escorted down the slip road, stopped and like a dangerous gangster, surrounded and told to wait. An officer eventually arrived and, jumping up and down in his immaculate polished brown riding boots? said how he had struggled to control his Mk1 Ford Escort in the pouring rain. I told him my car was built for it and his wasn’t. He arrested me. I spent six months on public transport after that. Remember When is Robert’s personal story of growing up, waking up and riding the wave of small-time success.
Robert Mardle grew up in London and married up into a middle-class family of business owners. He is retired and lives in Oxford with his wife. Having tried his hand at retirement, is now halfway through writing a story about a certain pirate Captain, Woody Legg.
