33. What is your education (high school/college) background?
I left school shortly before my 15th birthday and for the last year had played truant most days.

left without a single award, result or diploma. which when you think of what I achieved since then is a shame on the school and system.

I found school boring, frustrating and useless. I could read write add and subtract and knew a fair bit about history, geography and Religious studies. When I asked to be included in the cooking classes, becasue I intended being a chef and loved to cook, was told it was for girls only.

When you consider I've design office interiors and earnt a fortune with a camera, the fact that I struggled to get an F at Art is an example of how bad the school I attended was.

Hated school and one of the best days of my life was the day I left school.
