I work with the ball and chain of Her Majesty's Government and the Scottish Executive as a school pupil under the Department of Education of Dundee City Council, and have no intentions of getting a job soon. And if my parents earned less then the Government would give me between £10 and £30 a week for merely attending school!

My mother works for the same, but as a teacher in a primary school elsewhere in the city.

My father works for NCR as a consultant engineer and designs bits for cash mashines, and has a variety of plaques on the wall affording his name to a variety of U.S. patents.
