I first met Chris after I finished with Terry from Notting Hill Gate. I lived with him in a small flat near Nottingham Gate tube station. in those days I knew him as Barry. Whilst we were together he worked as a salesman of some sort though I don't remember exactly what. Barry had spent a short time in the army but I believe he was dismissed with ignominy. Certainly he was a hard task master and wanted to be controlling which didn't work very well with me. Our personalities clashed and we split after a short time.

It was some 15 or 16 years later when I next met Barry/Chris and it was around this time that the picture was taken. I met him in the West End of London and he was down on his luck and had nowhere to go nor anywhere to stay. He told me that he changed his name to Chris. I let him come to live with me in Penge as I had a spare bedroom that was not let at that time.

Unfortunately Husëyin did not get on with him and I found it difficult to remember to call him Chris which annoyed him. As he'd matured he become even more of a control freak and so after a couple of weeks I had to ask him to go and find somewhere else to rest his weary head.
