Because he took so many exams at University he decided to take it easy after leaving university, travelling through Europe by Interail and eventually working on a Kibbutz in Israel. Returning to England, he did work as a fruit picker, and returns clerk ending up in London. Here he learned about the great British benefits system which dominates so much of life in Britain both in the eighties, nineties and today. He met many types of travelers from all over the world all, it seems, bent on claiming benefits. He did, whilst working in Soho, London as a road sweeper,(1987 ) decide to use his education and apply for secure long term employment, but was unsuccessful. He returned to the North of England where he was eventually diagnosed with the mental malady schizophrenia. He was sectioned to a hospital for 6 weeks (1989) and defying all the doctors diagnostics found work afterwards as a temporary telesales clerk! The doctors had told him he that he was mentally ill for working as a road sweeper when he had a degree, even though the job was only temporary ( and paid well ).To prove the doctors wrong he wrote a book about the thoughts he had during one day in his life in 1994. It was rejected by many publishers and once again (1997) he was sectioned. He has been on benefits ever since.ver menos
