The Diary of Real Britain
I'm a 57 Year old Disabled man. I have worked for 37.5 continuous years. This Podcast Chronicles the struggles I have while making the journey of life. From putting food on the table to looking after the car and cat. From doing the shopping and going to work. From going to the gym and socialising. And carrying out my political activism. I then keep the Diary of Real Britain to tell people of this journey. To tell them of the Britain I live in.

Monday. Another Monday. The morning is the usual paperwork for my business. Then in the afternoon its off to the gym and then home via the supermarket. Tuesday. There must be a student action day on as there are a load of stalls across Parker's piece. I am asked constantly to buy something and at lunch time I purchase some chocolate cookies. Wednesday. Again a load of stalls but this time I tell them no more purchases. Everyone is turned down! Thursday. Today is the same thing as the previous two days. Then I bump into my friend Jim who tells me that Andrew Chapman an old school friend and ex work colleague has been found dead. It is a sad day. Friday. No stalls on Parker's piece thank god! At lunch time I have a meeting and he tells me that some buildings are closing down. However he wants to keep me on. I finish the round, the day and the working week. Saturday. Its community litter pick day and then after the litter pick I help with the setting up of the community VE day celebrations. Sunday. Its the usual Sunday Routine Sunday Politics on T.V and then off to the weekly shop and then home. In the evening I help cook Sunday Roast
