We all had some kind of career that we wanted as a child.

I wanted to be a princess as most little girls probably did. What was yours?

Then in my teens wanted to join the navy, only to get an eye injury that stopped that.

After that I stopped thinking about what I wanted to do.

I truly believed that I was going to be a pop singer and wear lots of pretty dresses like the ladies I saw performing on the telly. I loved light colours, especially white, but they didn't suit my pale complexion...so, as a 4yr old it was clear to me that I needed to be black. It took years for me to understand that it was just never going to happen

It depends when you asked. In 1982 when the documentary The Paras was on telly, I and everyone in my class wanted to be a Para and we'd all be arguing over P Company in the playground. After that I fancied teaching history. Then I decided to be Tina Titz, available for weddings, birthdays and buffets.
