As children, we lived in the Armed Forces' housing colony, where my naval officer father had government accommodation. There were lots of other officers' children in the neighbourhood. In the evenings we'd all collect in the playground. But the play was no child's play! There was serious politics at stake in this group that called itself, The Team.
