When a child my Welsh great grandfather encouraged me to grow a thick skin, teaching me that his years as a professional soldier had taught him that hard times, and enemy action (he served at Gallipoli with the South Wales Borderers) (1) had grown him into accepting that our adversities grow us out of our belief, that we know it all, therefore deserve better treatment.
