And all that life that I just described got left behind.

And now I was at sixth form with all my white middle classmates who were all going to go to university and they had good jobs and good relationships with their family and their dad didn't abuse them and all that sort of stuff, you know, which was the relationships I'd had before.

So I think for me, that was the catalyst for change.

Very luckily at 16, I got in with the right crowd.

If I hadn't have done, I would have had a baby when I was young.

I would have gone down a certain route.

I like to think as an entrepreneur, I still would have made it somehow, but it would have been very difficult and very different.

Yes, and I ended up going to university, yeah.

And actually my parents are proper, hardworking, working class, never been to university.

They thought university was for rich people and clever people.

We were neither of those things.

And I'd been messing about for 18 years.

So we had some really difficult conversations with my mum and dad when I wanted to go.

My mum and dad had to sell some bonds and shares and things that they had within Sainsbury where my mum worked so they could afford for me to go.

So when I got there at the age of 19 on the very first day, my mum and dad had always sacrificed for us because my dad was working hard in the factory and my mum working three jobs.

But when I got to university, I felt very lucky to be there.

And as the kicker, literally, as I moved into the halls of residence on day one, I held the door open for this beautiful blonde woman who turned out to be my wife.

And we were together for 20 years since then.

So serendipity, eh?

Oh, and if you want an extra kicker, she was also born the day before I was.
