I'm from Salford.It's not exactly Chelsea. My father did not have a good start. His mother was Danish immigrant who came with nothing.
When I left school at 17 to join the forces my father had a multi million pound steel fabricators and shipping engineers. He gave me 3 grand to get a start and I promptly set up a small works building firm and employed people as sub-contractors to complete jobs I tendered for and I still joined the army and managed both. I've done a lot since then and I'll be spending another £60k on a car next year, but the moral is that it does not matter where you are from you will get out of life no more than the effort you put into it.
