I used to be a big believer in social mobility, but it would appear that it is getting more and more difficult for people of disadvantaged backgrounds to climb the professional ladder. Days where the Alan Sugars of the world could start with nothing and become a multimillionaire are, it would appear, gone and there doesn't seem to be any signs that this will change soon. There have even been reports of three generations of the same family living in the same house due to the ever increasing cost of living, which is actually taking us back a hundred years rather than forward.
So if social mobility is dead in the water, I'm going to focus on cultural mobility. Increasing a person's cultural awareness and bettering them. Not being immune to this myself, I am going to start listening to classical music and learning more about it, and my second step is to educate the 'yoof' in society into the wonderful world of wine, through food and wine matching. Realising that Michelin restaurants are out of their price range, I'll start at the bottom of the food chain and make wine suggestions for fast food restaurants...
