I’d started out as most people do, by writing letter after letter and getting no result at all. And I’d actually been living in London. I’d come back from America to, I’d been half promised a job at London Zoo that never materialized. And so after doing a bit of pub work and a bit of work in parks, I was sharing a flat with my uncle and aunt and we ended up, my uncle’s job ended up moving back up to Edinburgh. He was in research.
