When I was a boy we lived in one room - twenty in one bed. We had no mattress or covers. We owned one plate and all ate off it, but we had no food. We got up so early it was yesterday. I walked from London to Scotland for water, with one cup which we all later drank from. My dad shovelled earth digging pits. He dug a hole bigger than what Wembley Stadium would fit into, every day. His entire wages for the year was enough to buy one slice of bread. I tell you, the youngsters have it easy today...

Is this the same Bill Cullen that that made a €18.6 million loss in 2007, and a further loss of €8.2 million in 2008 and Renault S.A.S ended up saving his Ass?

Is this the same Bill Cullen whos hotel ran loses of €9.4 million?

A monkey could have run these operations during the boom times. He just was lucky.
