I suppose if this particular exploit were repeated these days, the culprits would probably be
jailed for frenzied sexual molestation. Categorised as deranged perverts inflicting physical

Some details on the author Mark Anthony.
He was born into a country market town six years,prior to the start
of the second world war at a time when:
Marriage was forever. Sex was portrayed at best as a part of love, at worst as vulgar.
Pornography unknown as such, smoking advertised as beneficial to health with drugs virtually
unheard of.
High moral values were expected when brides wore white because they were virgins and not
because they liked the colour.
He was educated in order at a Church Primary, a Convent, a Private Preparatory School and finally
a Grammar School. His only claim to academic achievement was a good school certificate and as
he later discovered an extraordinary high I.Q.
His motivation to write the book was driven by the fact that his three daughters are currently
divorced and are members of the one parent family brigade so prevalent unfortunately in today's
world.
He wanted to record for posterity his life until the age of 40 that was founded on these high
moral values and lacked nothing in terms of fun, enduring love and fulfilment. Personal evidence
that there is this other way.
His father made him promise not to deflower any maiden on his way to manhood and marriage, a
promise that he did his utmost to maintain. This led to memorable scenarios.
His life was full of luck, fun, frolic and tragedies as it courses through the streams of a
hilarious first employment with an Auctioneers, National Service in the R.A.F., Trainee Management
with a well known Retail Chain, Managerial appointments with a Unilever food manufacturer and
distributor, a period with an Insurance Broker and finally his own business. One's eyes are opened
to many of the workings of those companies during the 50's and 60's.
He warns that his autobiography at times is very raunchy even erotic but trusts that his
prospective readers will enjoy reading of his life as much as he enjoyed living it.
His greatest wish is for all young folks to take heart in the fact that enduring love is
possible even today. Seek and ye shall find!
