Memories of School:
all the Hawke prefects in David Hogge's living room with him and Peter Newling trying to get a musical note
out of Peter Newling's clarianet and only succeeding in distressing the cows on the other side of the valley.
maths lessons in Peter Newling's house with beer and game pie
'liberating' thunderflashes from the CCF stoes and fighting battles in the valley behind Hawke House
a glut of strawberries when Dave Allen's father (an early pioneer of flying fruit to the UK) missed the plane
cross country runs and the dreaded pipe across the swamp, if you were a tail ender (and I often was) you fell in
when the porridge wasn't burnt the milk was sour
being coached by the British Lions, I particularly remember Mike Gibson
Freddy Schwentafsky scoring the only points for East Africa against the Springboks
safari ants disrupting the First XV match with DoY
Since leaving School:
After graduating in Chemical Engineering, I studied business and accountancy and have never practiced any of
these skills. I started life as a project engineer in the motor industry and then joined British Steel as an
internal auditor. In 1980 I went to work for the Europeean Commission as a National Expert for 2 years to help
the Commission's efforts to restucture the European steel industry. I never came back. I am now a fully fledged
Eurocrat evaluating large mergers.
I live in Belgium
