Well, I'm Andy and I was born In Poets Corner, Wealdstone, to a working-class family with no great aspirations. Wealdstone is now a suburb of Harrow, which in its turn is now a suburb of Greater London to my ultimate sorrow. When I was four my family moved to Pinner where we stayed until 1959 when there was another move to Bushey where we lived until I married in 1970. Then it was up sticks to Luton to our first house where our children were born in the early Seventies, after which we moved Hemel Hempstead where we live now. Oh. and I omitted to say I'm still with the lovely Lady I met at the New Penny disco in Watford 34 years ago! Two daughters, both high achievers, eldest a Cambridge graduate now Grammar School teacher, younger working in IT and doing quite well. Not bad for a working-class Oik!
