About me I am an occasional editor of Wikipedia. I joined long ago but have only recently returned to editing. I am a practising lawyer in the UK, with a science background prior to law, as well as distant past forays into politics as an MP's research assistant and later as a student union sabbatical officer.

Language and style English is my native language, British English the style. A childhood education in Germany for two years left me with a trace of German.
