I’ve also seen Britain from a variety of interesting vantage points. As well as via the comprehensive education system and through the windows of a Scottish university, in between getting an education and getting a life I’ve cleaned carriages for British Rail, I’ve collected trolleys for Sainsburys and I’ve collected timber from the back of a moulding machine in a sawmill.
Worse than all that, though, I’ve spent fifteen years in the UK financial services industry – and if you want to get a good view of what’s wrong with modern Britain, there’s no better place to see it from than that.
The best thing Britain ever did for me was to give me an education. For that I am very grateful. The best thing Britain didn’t give me was a Nottingham accent. I’m very grateful for that too. But I am most grateful of all to have had two parents who knew how to bring up children. There were a lot that didn’t even then, and anyone who’s had a close look at Britain recently certainly wouldn’t take that for granted.
I live in Nottingham with my long suffering wife, Joy. We’ve no kids, just fish and pet hates.показать меньше
