Born, 1940, in Northumberland Avenue, Tottenham, London, and adopted when I was 3 years old, in Bolton, Lancashire.  After the war, my parents moved to Wallasey, Merseyside and  I went to school at St. Georges, Wallasey, Kingsmead,  Hoylake and Wallasey Tech., New Brighton.

In the summer of 1945,  my folks moved  to just outside Wisbech, down here in the Fens, and I went to school at Wymondham College, near Norwich.  The school itself used to be an American Army Hospital during the War and consisted mainly of Nissen huts.
 

I  then joined the Royal Navy at 15½.  I enjoyed most of my time, travelling around the world, seeing and visiting places that most people have never even heard of, even these days.  Some, like the Seychelles and Maldives were not even thought of as holiday destinations in those days and were unspoilt.  After my service in the RN, I had a couple of jobs ashore before going back to sea in the Merchant Navy and oil rigs.  Most of my time was spent out in the West Indies, Far East and the Mediterranean.  Really loved the sea and tropical climates. Oh!  I wish I had  stayed at sea!

These days, I don't do too much.  In July 2000 due to health, Diabetes, I had to pack in my job as an HGV driver. I also had my HGV Licence revoked. 

As  a result, I found myself high and dry with not a lot to do.  I got to thinking what I could do and remembered something that happened while I was an IT Lecturer at out local college.  A lot of folk, mainly over 40, wanted to learn the basics of using a computer, so I put an advert in the local paper to teach folk at home on their own machine. I finally retired in 2005.

I have two sons, Andrew, who is an auto-electrician, but at present he is seeking gainful employment.  He now lives near Fakenham, Norfolk.

Nathan, He has a Bachelors Degree in Sports Science from ARU, (Anglia Ruskin University), Cambridge.  and a Master's Degree from Edinburgh University.  Mad on rugby and most physical sports.  At present, he lives in Clapham, London
