IMPORTANT--Our Paul's Hint At His Age and Where He Grew Up

In the same hour-long press conference in Tokyo on June 30, 1966 that I mentioned in my last post  there was an important exchange between our Paul and a reporter that narrows down our Paul's true age and where he grew up. (Read the entire interview at:  www.beatlesinterviews.org .) Here's what Paul said:  

     KEN GARY:  "Would you pay two or three pounds to go and see people like yourselves and
                                that sort of music?"

     PAUL:             "Yes, if we like them.  Yeah.  I paid seventeen-and-six to see Bill Haley.  I was
                                 twelve.  It broke me."

Bill Haley and his Comets first toured England from February 6-24, 1957This would put Paul's year of birth at--most likely--1944 and an outside chance of 1945. 

He said he paid 17 and 6 for the ticket and I am still trying to track down which city the ticket price would be from.

But we know that Paul was born in 1944 or 1945.  An IMPORTANT clue!
