Bit (goldfish)

Named after one of the famous Playschool goldfish, Bit died a few days after being won at a fair when I was five. I think the bowl had been put too close to the window and the sun made him overheat.

Bot (goldfish)

Named after the less-celebrated Playschool fish with the slightly more risqué moniker, Bot lasted about a fortnight in the little round bowl, before he too departed to that large ant-egg factory in the sky.

Morecambe and Wise (goldfish)

My mum and dad bought me a larger tank to accommodate these two new members of the family. I hoped they would have lots of baby fish, who I had already decided to call the Two Ronnies. Naming beloved pets after conventional British comic double acts was all the rage at the time.

Morecambe1 and Wise lived for a couple of years, until a mystery virus, perhaps passed on by infected ant eggs, claimed the life of Morecambe. In true show-business tradition Wise gamely soldiered on alone. But it was no use. I ended up flushing him down the toilet when he appeared one morning on his side, floating on the surface. After which I gave up goldfish for ever.
