Question #27

I have interviewed Roald Dahl, here is some facts about his childhood:

Q: As a child where you ever allowed to go to the sweet shop and spend your pocket money on sweets? If you were, what were your favourite sweets?

A: Yes, I was allowed to go to the sweet shop and spend my pocket money, but I only received sixpence a week. In the sweet shop there were many sweets, there were: Bull's-eyes, Old Fashioned Humbugs, Strawberry Bonbons, Glacier Mints, Acid Drops, Pear Drops and Lemon Drops. But my favourite sweets were Sherbet Suckers and Liquorice Bootlaces.

Q: I know that every summer holiday you would go to Norway and visit your relatives, but what was the traditional Norweigan breakfast?

A: A traditional Norweigan breakfast includes: Jugs of milk, plates of cold beef, veal, ham and pork, cold boiled mackerel submerged in aspic, spiced and pickled herring, fillets, sardines, smoked eel, cod's roe, cold omelettes with chopped ham in them and cold chicken, a large bowl piled high with hot boiled eggs, hot coffee for the adults, hot crisp rolls with butter and cranberry jam, stewed apricots and five or six different cheeses including gjetost and Norweigan goat's cheese.

Q: At the age of 9, you went to a boarding school called St. Peters. And every Sunday morning you would write to home, that was the first letter you wrote to home?

A: Yes. The first letter I wrote to home was this:

              "Dear Mama,                                            

                I am having a lovely time here.

                We play foot ball every day here. The beds have no springs. Will you send my stamp

                album, and quite a lot of swops. The masters are very nice. I've got all my clothes

                now, and a belt, tie and a school Jersey.

                love from

                Boy"

Q: Up until you went to St. Peters, you always lived with your family. But when your went to St. Peters, you had to board and be away from your family until the holidays broke out. Did you ever get homesick?

A: I did get homesick. During the first term I got quite homesick. Therefore I decided to send my family a letter and let them know that I was coming home for some time. This is the letter I sent my family:

"I am coming home next Friday on the 17th of December by the 1:36 (one thirty six train) please meet me. This is the longest letter I have written to you this term. Last Sunday Letter."
