I started hustling at 12, my mother hustled ahead of me. I was only allowed to because they knew me.
If you drag your shoe a bit those plastic spikes or rubber spikes can be almost as bad as metal spikes.
I was 17, and all I wanted to do was to get away from England and the awful, boring boarding schools I'd been going to there. The last one was taught by monks, and I couldn't wait to get out.
