Six Pillars to Persia Mondays 1.30

His grandfather used to eat sugar sandwiches, which reminds me of my mother who pinched sugar cubes as a child in Iran and would hide so to eat them. This man, Clive (half Scottish), is a filmmaker yet he has decided to come in from Brighton to jazz dance answers to my questions.

Clive also knows a successful body builder who goes back regularly, he wants to bring him in tow.
