Clockwork Mouse,
That explains it a bit better I think. Like you I believe that he is following a normal career progression. No sign of heirs and graces about him, a bloke I would happily have a beer with. It's a shame the press feel that it's their duty to build him up, and then no doubt, take the greatest pleasure in "bringing him down", when the mood takes them. I wish him all the best, he is obviously suited to his chosen path, as his commanders have commented, and all credit to a man who is prepared to put his @rse in the fire, when he could walk away and be another rich kid.
