Former Conservative Employment Secretary Norman Tebbit told how his how his father got on his bike to look for a job during the Depression of the 1930s, during a 1981 speech in Blackpool.

In 1982, I went to Birmingham on my bike to go to a jobs fair and found a stand from The Royal Free Hospital in London. I was invited for interview and got the job.
