The Anonymous Widower

What If?

You sometimes wonder what would have happened to your life, if just one thing had happened.

I was lying in bed this morning and remembered that when I got my first job at ICI in Runcorn I was paid £1,150 a year.  Not a lot you might think but it was 1969.  In the end we lived in a rented flat at Rosehill Court in Woolton, but we might have lived in a little cottage in Woolton Village, if only we could have found the mortgage.

The cottage cost just £2,000.

It just shows how time it was for first time buyers in those days.

But what would have happened if we’d stayed in Liverpool?  Would I have been the success I have been since, if we’d bought that house?

Live changes on the turn of fate.
