Free as a Bird

By Chris Staverson

In 1993, through luck and some deviousness, Chris Staverson got a job as a low-paid employee in the British office of an American commercial bank. By the time the end of the millennium was coming into view, he had somehow managed to climb the career ladder, being paid a good salary and having a company car to drive around in. For a man who had left school with just an 'O'level in English and Geography, it wasn't a bad achievement.

But, and as he was soon to find out, nothing good in life can last forever.

In 2000, he was unemployed. The office where he had worked for the previous seven years was closed, and had relocated to Cambridge. Having had enough of his job, he decided not to follow the bank to its new location. Instead, he banked his redundancy pay and thought about what he was going to do next with his life.

This true story is a tale of throwing caution to the wind, and to hell with the consequences.
