I don't see anything special about my experience. I was brought up in a terraced house, did my 1st year at comprehensive with a bunch of tearaways, and had a proper good laugh. I'm still the same kid who was brought up on the streets and got up to all kinds of mischief, and the move only happened because I was good at maths. I suppose it was good to meet different types of people, but the most interesting thing was how we were treated at school.
