Neville recalls shared childhood Christmas gifts

Neville remembers his childhood Christmases: up at four for a five o'clock service, then home to the football and cricket set that was the family's communal present because his mother could not afford one each — and how learning to play and share together led the huge family into the business partnership that built their fortune.

  • Christmas ¶40 (Because we are a huge family and mother could ill-afford to give us each a present, so she gave us a communal present, a football and a cricket set. It was ours, not mine, not his, but ours.)
