The city is multicultural, and I am proud of the community spirit. Life was tough for working-class people like us in the 1960s.#2 The 1970s was the decade of strikes, which led to power cuts and piles of rat-infested rubbish on the streets because the bin men weren’t collecting it any more. The economy was prone to inflation, and workers demanded higher wages.#3 I had a very difficult childhood. My parents split up when I was nineteen, and my dad married Denise in 1985. Through Denise, I gained two stepbrothers – Kevin, who was three, and Ben, who was one. My father and Denise went on to have four children together – Sarah, Sam, Joe, and Asa.#4 I met Tanya Watts in a local pub in 1991 when I was twenty-nine. We got together, and I was thrilled when I found out I was going to be a father. But my relationship with Tanya was deteriorating fast. I was having problems with her kicking me out every time we had a fight.
