Born on ‘The Wirral' and a ‘Firbob' apparently (maybe I'm the last one?). I entered the power industry with an unimpressive two O levels as an apprentice at the age of sixteen and, four years later was spat out as a mechanical craftsman. I worked within the same industry at various locations and under various job titles for umpteen years thereafter meeting some excellent and some not so excellent people on the way (you know who you are). Went over to live in New Zealand for ten years then came back and settled in my home county, that of Cheshire.
