When I was first married and living with ma in law in Potters Hill we had a little Irish guy call on us and ask if we'd like to live in a house in Rifle Crescent, we could have the ground floor for free but were told the rest of the house would be occupied by 'young blacks' bed swapping, 15 in the day and another 15 at night, they were to each pay £1 a week rent which I was to collect.
I quickly refused the offer.
The young blacks were Jamaican chaps who had recently arrived prior to their families following and were all employed on day or night shifts at local factories.
