Many years later, I still feel that medics look down on oiks like me.

I ended up studying medicine, a field dominated by the middle class. I found that few of them spoke like me.
As Ken Loach observed, "The problem is that the British middle class is obsessed with swear words."

I grew up in West Central Scotland and went to a comprehensive school. On account of my good exam results I applied to St John's College, Cambridge and went down there for an interview. I had no idea which college to apply to, or on what basis such a decision would be made, so I just chose the one Douglas Adams had been to.
I turned up with a clean shirt, wearing one of my dad's ties. All the other candidates seemed to be wearing suits and carrying copies of The Economist.
I was not offered a place.
