The true spirit of '76 lives.
Sixty-year-old 'punk granny' Lil Bone is socking it to them in
her hometown of Huthwaite in Nottinghamshire.
Lil, who has
nine children and seventeen grandchildren, is a picture of sartorial
elegance with her hair striped yellow, orange, and blue; Clash
T-shirt; studded dog collar; and jacket adored with toilet chains
and safety pins.
'Luscious' Lil,
who regularly meets the punks, Teddy boys and rockers down at
the Mason Arms in Mansfield, says: "I like the young kids
today", adding, "I've got a safety pin for my nose
but it makes me sneeze." But Lil is putting her good looks
to good use; she's going round the pubs to raise £500 for
local hospitals.
