Growing up in Shard End, the teenage Jeff would earn pocket money by looking after small children. Local mums would nod approvingly as they told each other how well he coped. Sometimes with three or four babies sitting on his knee. That is true. But later on one of those moms accused him of using hallocinogens when she came back to fetch her child and found "babies dancing in the midnight sun".

Obviously Jeff never encountered the mum whose own kids ran away when she walked by at the end of the day...

Jeff played Battle of Marston Moor to amuse the kids “ A noise in the city made the children run and hide themselves away”

She got a bigger shock when she went in the front room and found the pigs all sitting watching picture slides.

Then Jeff figured out he had gotten things mixed up: it should have been baby sitting and Dancing Pig.

To add to the funds he earned from babysitting, young Jeff also had a paper round.
Sadly, the householders on his route didn't appreciate his habit of shouting: "Here is the news" as he delivered the morning edition. And once, his black and yellow tie got caught in somebody's letter box.

The black and yellow tie got him into trouble twice that year, a short sighted pensioner mistook Jeff for a wasp and swotting him with one of the papers he was delivering, this gave poor Jeff a black eye forcing him to wear avatar shades the following day, since this unfortunate event the shades have never been removed.

Jeff has a favourite fashion boutique. Their clothes can be worn in the heat of the night, or when things ain't goin' right.

At the band's Christmas parties, Mel would go all out to win the annual game of musical statues.

As we know, ELO were all fans of surreal British comedy show Monty Python's Flying Circus. Each member had a favourite sketch.
Sports fan Bev enjoyed the Philosophers' Football Match. Kelly was a fan of The Funniest Joke In The World. Mik liked The Four Yorkshiremen. Mel and his legendary arm preferred Nudge, Nudge. Hugh would join in with the Philosophers' Song (which celebrated the great thinkers' love of alcohol). Richard's choice was Mr Smoke-Too-Much, and his visit to the travel agent. And composer Jeff's favourite was Arthur "Two Sheds" Jackson, who tries in vain to discuss his new symphony.
