Description

This week, Andy Ferriss is in Winchester, and his host is a pub landlord and former international salesman. His name is Graham Jameson, and he talks about his life and his career. First, he talks about his child memories, then he went to the Army for 3 years, then started to work for a multinational company selling painting products all over the world. And he talks about his great experiences travelling around the world to sell painting materials specially to India. They love colours and they were the biggest buyers. His highlights were when he could go to Paris and Australia. He loved these places. But, after many years working for this company, with his age of 44 years-old, he got the pick and he thought that he had to do something different and stop travelling. So, he decided to buy this pub in Winchester and make a living with this business. The house is 225 years-old and represents his and his family’s world. [Box 7]
