Well ... my three forenames are Arthur James Balfour as were my Dad's. He in turn - third youngest in a family of 11 - had been called after Lord Balfour a distinguished early 20th Century Statesman, much admired by my paternal grandparents who'd [apparently] run out of names by the time of my father's birth in March 1912.Originally Posted by SimonH
Vote for me
Public school education, 1 'O' level in Maths, grade C GCSE in English, not doing too bad all things considered
Come on........ Simon for PM
That's where the "connection" ends; my CV for the job comprising:
SCE Higher Grade in English & History
SCE 'O' Grade in Arithmetic
... all attained through attendance at Evening Classes in conjunction with home study when in my 30s and worth bugger all!
Why? Because those once-coveted qualifications were ...... ten-a-penny by the 1970s and I remained a lowly penpusher throughout my entire working life.
