That was where my parents started. My dad is a Nigerian-Austrian, grew up working Plymouth docks, my mum a navy nco's brat, grew up in a caravan on base in Scotland and left home at 14.
I'm fully aware of the privilege that I've had, and yes, in some regards I've been fortunate. There are many who have been less, and more, fortunate. Most of the £200k was mortgage debt in my dad's name that I was paying so my great aunt didn't end up losing her house. I could barely hold a bank account my credit rating was so shot.
But this is all besides the point.
