I left a £500m mortgage debt and a £10.5m car loan for my parents, who got £12.5m a year. I left a £400m debt, a £30m home loan, £40m a year retirement savings.
For a while I had been the sole sailor on the board of C.A.F. and was told I had to get on board. I was to sail to Glasgow and the other two parts of England in January 1945. I thought I should do it. But I was too old to be on board.

My parents asked me what I was going to do, but I said I was going to sail for the Scottish Water. This was the first time I had been to Scotland, and they said I was going to
