Not the story of a famous celebrity, but that of an English working class guy, who decided that a life working in a coal mine or shipyard was not for him.. A true life story, written solely by the author, tells of a journey through a life of challenges and hurdles.. From early days in north east England, followed by north west England. Then moving to Iran during a time of political uncertainty, followed by Saudi Arabia during a time of unprecedented construction, and finally returning to settle in south-eastern England.. Sometimes sad, mostly happy, and never boring! Told with a northern sense of humour.
