"It all started on a cold and rainy day in 1991. A young Ehab turned to his father and said "Daddy, I want to **** over the people of Hull!". Assem, hands clasped in front of him on the desk, fingers drumming to the patter of raindrops hammering on the window, his lips curving into a smile as he contemplated all the aggravation he could inflict of the hapless citizens of his locality. At the snap of the fingers, a devious plan hatched in Assem's head. "Ehab, go finish off your steam train colouring book, leave it with me".
Later that day he put in a bid to buy Ruscadors Shipyard."
