McCARTHY IN CANADA


After months of slaving away at Esso Haywards Heath, McCarthy had saved up enough pennies to fly the nest that is Burgess Hill and spread his minor celebrity status to a new part of the world. His chosen destination is Canada, he has family ties out there, but also made no secret that the country was chosen due to the lack of black people!!!
