To be honest - getting out of there was the best thing i ever did...
Was funny when i started working as a doorman at one of the clubs in town here down south. Interview went:
Them: "So what makes you think you can do the job?"
Me: "I'm 6ft 4 and 20 stone"
Them: "Right."
Me: "I've done a few years in the TA"
Them: "Right"
Me: "Got into the police at 18"
Them: "Right"
Me: "Oh, and i grew up in Bradford"
Them: "Fucking hell, when can you start?"
