Miscellaneous facts
- Born in Rottenrow Maternity hospital in Glasgow which
no longer exists. (It was in the midst of the Strathclyde
university campus, now a garden.)
- Despite being born and brought up mostly in Glasgow
I've utterly escaped the beautiful (!) Glaswegian accent.
I blame my parents! They're English, and from age 2-8 I
was growing up in England and Uganda without any
Glaswegians to talk with. By 9 I was too stubborn to
change!
- Computer programming since age 9, starting with a BBC
and BASIC!
- Once managed to mess up my computer so much and
hadn't got a proper backup plan then, that I had to buy a
computer magazine to get hold of some software I'd
written... it had just been released on a Cover CD before
I wiped my hard disc!
