like the kids are never home. I see them for dinner and sometimes on Saturday mornings, but that's about it. They're really busy and have a lot of friends. C
Woman: Well, my brother was six years younger than I, and er, I think that when he was little I was quite jealous of him. I remember he had beautiful red curls (mm) ... my mother used to coo over him. One day a friend and I played, erm, barber shop, and, erm, my mother must have been away, she must have been in the kitchen or something (mm) and we got these scissors and sat my brother down and kept him quiet and (strapped him down) ... That's right, and cut off all his curls, you see. And my mother just was so upset, and in fact it's the first ... I think it’s one of the few times I've ever seen my father really angry. Man: What happened to you?
Woman: Oh ... I was sent to my room for a whole week you know, it was terrible.
Man But was that the sort of pattern, weren't you close to your brother at all?
Woman: Well as I grew older I think that er I just ignored him ... Man: What about ... you've got an older brother too, did ... were they close, the two brothers?
-!
Woman: No, no my brother's just a couple of years older than I ... so the two of us were closer and we thought we were both very grown up and he was just a ... a kid ... so we deliberately, I think, kind of ignored him. And then I left, I left home when he was only still a schoolboy, he was only fifteen (mm) and I went to live in England and he eventually went to live in Brazil and I really did lose contact with him for a long time. Man: What was he doing down there?
Woman: Well, he was a travel agent, so he went down there to work ... And, erm, I didn't, I can't even remember, erm sending a card, even, when he got married. But I re ... I do remember that later on my mother was showing me pictures of his wedding, 'cause my mother and father went down there (uh huh) to the wedding, and er, there was this guy on the photos with a beard and glasses, and I said,\thought it was the bride's brother or something like this (mm) ... and my mother said frostily, \Questions for memory test:

Radio presenter: Good afternoon. And welcome to our midweek Phone-In. In today's program we' re going to concentrate on personal problems. And here with me in the studio I've got Tessa Colbeck, who writes the...in Flash magazine, and Doctor Maurice Rex, Student Medical Adviser at the University of Norfolk.
The number to ring with your problem is oh one, if you are outside London, two two two, two one two two. And we have our first caller on the line, and it’s Rosemary, I think, er calling from Manchester. Hello, Rosemary. Rosemary: Hello.
Radio presenter: How can we help you, Rosemary?
Rosemary: Well it’s my dad. He won’t let me stay out after ten o'clock at night and all my friends can stay out much longer than that. I always have to go home first. It's really embarrassing...
Tessa: Hello, Rosemary, love. Rosemary, how old are you, dear? Rosemary: I'm fifteen in two month's time.
Tessa: And where do you go at night?--When you go out?
-!
Rosemary: Just to my friend's house, usually. But everyone else can stay there much later than me. I have to leave at about a quarter to ten. Tessa: And does this friend of yours-does she live near you? Rosemary: It takes about ten minutes to walk from her house to ours. Tessa: I see. You live in Brighton, wasn’t it? Well ,Brighton’s… Rosemary: No, Manchester…I live in Manchester.
Tessa: oh. I’m sorry, love. I’m getting mixed up. Yes, well Manchester's quite a rough city, isn't it ? I mean, your dad...
Rosemary: No, not really. Not where we live, it isn’t. I don't live in the City Center or anything like that. And Christine's house is in a very quiet part.
Tessa: Christine. That's your friend, is it?
Rosemary: Yeah. That's right. I mean, I know my dad gets worried but it’s perfectly safe.
Maurice: Rosemary. Have you talked about this with your dad? Rosemary: No. He just shouts and then he says he won't let me go out at all if I can't come home on time.
Maurice: Why don't you just try to sit down quietly with your dad-- sometime when he's relaxed--and just have a quiet chat about it? He’ll probably explain why he worries about you. It isn't always safe for young girls to go out at night.
Tessa: Yes. And maybe you could persuade him to come and pick you up
