  2. “When my dad worked as a laborer, he was a founder worker and sing a sew machine factory for a while, and he'd spent quite a bit of time in a prisoner war camp in a Japanese prison war camp, but he'd determined when he came out of the prison war camp that he was going to build a life and have children. And my mother spent a lot of time looking after us because there were seven children.”

  3. “Not that I'm counting I don't mind it, and I'm quite happy, but I just do hate this granddad title that you get when your daughter has a child. She's got a lovely little baby called Ava, and she's great. I've spent some time with her, but I hate me called granddad.”

  4. “They say, you know, being a scort of living abroad, if you like in England and being surrounded by English people, my children actually consider themselves English. We always like to hear a Scottish voice. In the top of my iPod when I switch on, I get the flat in London is Rod Stewart with Maggie May.”

  5. “No, my plan was to buy a house, make enough money to sav and children. It was as simple as that, and then the children came along, and by that time I realised how much I enjoyed business, and I stayed in business because I really love it.”

  6. “You know, it sort of started with the fact I was on the beach, and I met this girl and I fell in love, and we wanted to have children. We had no money, and to have children you have to have money, so it was then I decided I wanted to do something with my life.”

  7. “Yeah, entrepreneur and other ones, yeah. But yeah, I mean, we just didn't believe in capitalism. We believed that we're working class and nobody had to work and that was it. You know, it wasn't until the Royal Navy and I was penniless this idea of going into business. I thought, you know, this is something that no one can stop with doing.”

  8. “No, I think I'm just tough in business when I'm talking to people about business if we'd done a program about family life at home I'd have come across very different.”

  10. “I don't know if I enjoy the money, but I certainly enjoy my life. I have such a great life. I have a lovely family, and I love the business, and I think roving your business that you built up is more important than loving the money that creates. There's many people in business who always say we won't retire entrepreneurs because we love it so much. It's what drives us.”
