" I have found it To My advantage in Life . . People always underestimated me. They hear a Brummie accent and they think you're thick, " He Said .
" People 's expectations were always very low.
" It meant I had to do relatively little to impress them. I only had to string together three coherent sentences and People looked at me As If I was Stephen Hawking . "
