I was prodigious at putting things on top of other things from the age of 6 onwards. The late, great Arthur Ramsbottom said we would never see the like of my ilk again. And how right he was! Despite earning international recognition I flamed out before I reached 10. I peaked aged 7 and three quarters.
Still got my memories though. I'll always have them.

@petewxyz saidI no longer have my putting things on top of other things frame that served me so well back then. I'm more likely to drink the glass of beer now! I still dabble though, out of sentimentality.
