I don't think I'm ugly, but you wouldn't give me a second glance if you passed me on the street.

I am 5' 8" tall and I weigh about 13½ stone. I don't have any false teeth, wooden legs, glass eyes etc.

I smoke hand-rolled cigarettes, I wear glasses, and I cannot swim or dance.

I tend to spend most of my free time either messing
about with my model railway or sitting at my pc,
although I do enjoy reading and really don't do enough of it.

I prefer listening to Classical music, although I can listen to almost anything,
as long as it is not opera or jazz.

I do not drink alcohol these days, preferring tea or coffee,
although I have been known to push the boat out and have a shandy!

My fashion sense is non-existent, I have no taste in clothes,
and so I usually tend to wear whatever comes to hand.

I was born in December 1955 in Newmarket, Suffolk, England.
My family lived in a small village about six miles from Newmarket
called Burrough Green. My brother Trevor, who died very young,
is buried in the churchyard there.

When I was about seven, my family moved to Histon,
near Cambridge, and with a few exceptions,
that is where I stayed until the last few years.

I attended the local village schools until I left aged 15½
and went to work on the railway at Cambridge.

My parents separated and divorced while we were at Histon,
and my dad still lives in the same house.
Both parents have since re-married and my mum
then had my two sisters : Hazel and Helen.
My step-father also had a daughter from his previous marriage, she's Karen.
My step-mother also had a son - he is Stephen.

While working at Cambridge station, I moved away
from home. It was then that I met Cheryl, who was
to become my first wife. We had three children,
Graham, Jenny and Melanie, before we separated.
After we were divorced I lost contact with the children
for something like 12 years until Jenny tracked me down
at Cambridge station.

Still on the railway, I moved for a brief spell to Ipswich.
I then left the railway, and worked, for various spells of time, as
a BT telephonist, a milkman, a 'temp' and as a minicab driver.
The railway was still in my blood, and I eventually returned to work on
Cambridge station. It was while I was here for the second time that Jenny found me.

Graham has several children, two by his first ex-wife and too many by different girlfriends,
and is soon to marry Leah. They have two sons, Keelan and Eliahja.
Jenny  has a lovely daughter Emma.
Melanie is married to Mark and is a mum of three, Kieran, Jessica and Elliott
(with whom I share birthdays, although I'm exactly 50 years older than him).

Along the line, I met Susie on the CB radio and a year or so
later we were married at the Wesley church in Cambridge.
However, after 16 years good years together, we decided to call it a day,
and we have now separated.

For about six years I had a girlfriend Sue, but we have now gone our separate
 ways after living together for about a year. I now live alone with my cat Barney.
