Is it better to be born with a silver spoon in your mouth or a
hunger in your belly? Is life in the city better than life in the
country? Is life in the new world really better than life in old
Europe? Is private education better than public? Is a university
degree compulsory to success in life?. What exactly is a better
life? Affluence does not guarantee happiness and poverty does not
guarantee misery and regardless of inherent socio-economic standing
a kind or cruel bounce at the right or wrong moment can be
life-changing. Strong parental love and guidance ultimately trump
actual money but the latter does make further education more
readily available and that generally opens up more opportunities in
the modern world. My wife and I had no post-secondary education and
loved our upbringing yet we strived very hard to make sure our
children did have university degrees and a shot at that 'better'
life. I hope the joyful if sometimes embarrassing memoirs of a
Scottish working class boy, combined with a good deal of social
history and the many quirks of the common language which my native
and adopted countries allegedly share, can amuse and inform.
