So my dad was a butcher then a trainer of butchers. He got lots of lads jobs on the old YTS scheme in the 90's then went back to managing a chicken processing factory.

I'm lucky with my dad. Although I hardly saw him (because he was always working - even Saturdays) he taught me he value of money and although made a few bad investment decisions - he bought a few properties and did well off them.

He set me off to become a qualified financial adviser and a property landlord. Now I work for a tech company.

He put his three sons through university and my two brothers are software and construction engineers.

I was kinda embarrassed to say he was a butcher when I was a kid but now it's so cool! I never realised eating steak 3 times a week wasn't normal. 😀
