Ep 96---

Tommy King grew up in a house with a shop in the front room, where neighbours knocked at eleven at night for a drop of milk. In 1984 he started as an apprentice butcher with Stanley Taylor on £30.30 a week, and on his first morning he had his arm down a pickle barrel, numb to the shoulder. He talks about twenty years behind the counter, Thursday darts nights in Boyle's pubs, and the paintings he started about four years ago.
