Growing Pains is the second book in a series of memoirs about
growing up in the city of Portsmouth after World War Two. We join
George in 1954, when Roger Bannister breaks the four-minute mile
barrier, meat comes off rationing, and the big musical hits of the
year include I saw Mummy kissing Santa Claus by the Beverley
Sisters and Norman Wisdom's Don't Laugh at me 'cos I'm a Fool.
Times are changing, but the country's leading naval port is still
struggling to recover from the death and destruction brought about
by wartime bombing.; The story of the pains and pleasures of coming
of age in Portsmouth or any city as the Swinging Sixties loom and
teenagers are invented makes for a sometimes poignant, sometimes
hilarious and always entertaining read.; A truly honest account of
a young man's life, his struggles with adolescence and keeping up
the appearance of being tough.
