I worked for MI6 in the Sixties during the great witch-hunts when the shared paranoia of the Cold War gripped the services.
If a lot of people gripped a knife and fork the way they do a golf club they'd starve to death.
The first big break was winning a scholarship to go to Cambridge University. I was very lucky because my parents couldn't have afforded a university education for me. Without a scholarship I couldn't possibly have gone.
