Transcript

What do you remember of him?

Doreen: Of who?

Mr Plimsolls

Doreen: It was a name that the children all called him, because he only wore plimsolls, they were white plimsolls. He wore a long coat in the winter, carried a little canvas bag, cap on his head and he shuffled down the road. He had about a size 6 foot, but he was wearing size 10 plimsolls so they flapped about, and he went every day down to the shop and then went back to his house.
Did you ever notice anything odd or weird about him?

Doreen: He always had his head down, he used to mumble to himself

Did he scare you at all?

Doreen: Well he didn’t scare me, I thought that he was odd but he did scare all the children

Was there anything he did that felt "off" to you?

Doreen: No, he was just an old man, but he did look scary.

Can you describe his house to me?

Doreen: He lived in a little bungalow at the top of the road, and the house was so overgrown with bushes you couldn’t see the windows and could only just make out the door. It was always dark inside, never any lights, and he lived like a hermit there.

Anything about his behaviour?

Doreen: He just shuffled, he was just an old man that shuffled, I would think he was very lonely, I wouldn’t think that he spoke to many people, which is why he was mumbling to himself
