Enid Weir was in her 20s when she came to the UK and she had barely arrived when she wanted to go straight back to Jamaica. But, despite the cold and the damp, she met someone who persuaded her to stay with the gifts of chocolate and a paraffin heater! Enid tells her story to Aasmah Mir, Rheanna Russell and Sharon Warmington. (Photo: From left to right, Rheanna Russell, Aasmah Mir, Enid Weir and Sharon Warmington)
