|summary= Stories from a Humberside fishing town; the biographical title tale details living next door to an American air base in the Cold War. I enjoyed these tales of growing up in the nineteen fifties, especially the wealth of authentic material. A perfect evocation of the east coast of England in the nineteen fifties - wonderful stuff.
For more about the east coast (albeit further north) fishing industry at about the same time we can recommend [[Hellfire and Herring by Christopher Rush]]. If ''None of the Cadillacs was Pink'' appeals to you then we think that you might also enjoy [[The Complete Novellas by Agnes Owens]].
