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.

A pleasant surprise its a women engineer! She takes 1 hr and 45 mins and then she leaves and I get on with my day. Tuesday. Its back to work and I clean the building and then head for market square to the new contract. And then after that I go to Jesus Green. Wednesday. Its the same as yesterday.
