I was schooled locally, attending Hazelwood primary then Oakwood secondary. 

At the age of fourteen, my year Master and Headmaster told me and my parents that it was pointless for me to return the next year, my parents were not pleased.

At the age of fifteen I was apprenticed to the Gas Board, to train as a fitter. I was sent to Paddington Polytechnical college, five years later I emerged with two distinctions.

Over my career I was promoted from engineer to technician then, to area Manager. In a yearly middle management shuffle, I was offered a teaching position at the British gas Academy.

After passing a teaching qualification, I stayed in teaching for twenty-three years.
