About Me edit

I'm British, in my fifties and had until March 2005 lived all my life in various parts of London. I now live in Maidstone, Kent.

I grew up in Morden in the London Borough of Merton and it was a search for my home town on Google that brought me to Wikipedia in the first place. I am a Chartered Quantity Surveyor working in the construction industry and am a member of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS).

My main interests are history, architecture, transport (specifically London Underground), genealogy, music and literature but my touch may be found on many pages across Wikipedia.
