Around March 1981, we had been in our New Flat for a little while, we got on with most of the Neighbours (we were in a Block of 6 Flats), apart the Husband of the Couple Directly below us, she was Alright, but him, he thought He was in charge of the block of Flats.
As I remember he had a Dog that was always Barking, I remember his Missus was once Crying, as he had Beat her up! what a Dickhead!
Natalie had Her 1st Birthday in early March, by my next Post I have a few Photos I can use, see previous post why we did not have too many Early Photos of Natalie!
Another thing concerning one of our Neighbour's, she lived directly opposite us on the 2nd Floor, we got on with her Quite Well, she was a bit older than us and Divorced, she had a Couple of Kids as well. She had a Bloke living with Her, who turned out to be a Workmate of mine, we had worked in the same Butcher's!
By April of 1981 I had had enough of Dewhurst's the Butchers, and left their Employment, I cannot remember the Reason's,(the only Reason I can Remember the Dates is Because Nine Months after starting my New Job, I was laid off!) I started Work At Meat Factory, it was called "Bransby's"
That was the Biggest Dump I have ever Worked, I had Probably one of the Better Jobs there, cutting up Legs of Pork, but doing this all Day Long, becomes Pretty Boring!
The Wages Were Crap as well, what a Mistake I had made, by finishing my Previous Employment and working there! as I said a What a Complete Dump and a Crappy Company to Work for!
The only thing Good about the Place was "Never Working Nights, Weekends or Bank Holidays!
The Music around this Period was Great! One Great Album released in April 1981 was "Street Songs" by Rick James, it contained some Great Tracks including "Give it to me Baby" Superfreak and the Ballad with "Teena Marie" Fire and Desire!
This was Rick James 5th out of 13 Studio Albums he was to Release before his Death in 2004, It went Platinum, it also attained the following Chart Positions in US Pop Chart Number 3 and US R&B Chart Number 1.
Rick James had a Troubled Life but he made some Great Music!
