James David Thomas was born in Leicester in 1934, the eldest son of Jack and Doris (née Keble), who were travelling performers. Jimmy’s uncle shot tops of candles from fingers and his aunt ate bananas under water.
Eating ‘nananananas underwater?
Whut?
If I was interviewing a young lady who can eat bananas underwater my first question would be: “when can you start?”
It’s how she ate them that was entertaining.
Did the aunt teach Linda Lovelace?
