As a child we lived at the top of Oxford Rd. My parents knew Marshall Baron, though they were not friends as such. They always spoke of Marshall with awe. I joined the scouts and had to do 'Bob-a-job' twice a year - whereby the scouts would earn money for the Scouts organisation by doing odd jobs for people. I would always go up and down Oxford Rd, of course, and several times Marshall gave me a job. he was always very nice to me.
