I come from a family of engineers. I have not a single engineering bone in my body, to my father’s great disappointment, but it’s about problem solving, and I guess that’s the sort of thing that runs through engineering and through law.
During a periodic tidy up, my mum found a hymnbook from my school and in the front of it, as the prig of a child that I was, I had written that when I grow up I wanted to be, not one, but three things. I wanted to be a lawyer, a social worker, and prime minister. Those were my aims in life. Aged nine.
