We didn’t sneak in, well only when we had no money. I couldn’t sneak in because the manager knew me and if he saw me he would have known. I tried to get a job as a projectionists assistant once but apparently they wanted someone with more experience. I remember that at the age of 15 I was let in to see ‘A’ films. You had to be 16 to get into ‘A’ films but I was working then, so they let me in.
