Will was rich because of his dad. His dad once wrote a Christmas song that got very famous so his father got a lot of money for it. And then when Will’s father died, he inherited the money.
When Will’s relationships with women got serious he ended the relationship because he wanted his life to be ’simple’.
Countdown was an afternoon TV quiz show that was Will’s favorite programme.
Fiona and Clive were Marcus’ parents. Fiona and Clive doesn't live together because they separated.
The two adjectives that Marcus use to describe himself are shy and weird.
What the writes means by ”the wrong trousers, the wrong shoes and the wrong haircut” is probably that Marcus wasn’t like all of the other kids. He wasn't the stereotypic guy in his class and people didn't accept that unfortunately.
Marcus usually listened to music from the 1960’s.
