Interview

It\´s probably the most quintessential of all british middle class character markers that when conferred with an honour the brit will feign indifference: ???what???s this thing? it was probably my turn.??? but cloud-computing entrepreneur scott fletcher is different. he???s "chuffed" with the mbe he has just received for services to business and the community in the north-west of england. but then again, fletcher isn???t middle class: he\´s the archetypal northern lad made good. he remembers as a boy touting around the pubs of backstreet manchester, flogging cockles and mussels, "fighting for every pound". and he\´s proud of that too.
