Lived in Bristol all my life, loved my life in Junior School when Britain really was Great Britain. Hated senior school and spent most of time counting down the days to when i could go and work with buses & coaches.
Left school at 15 and spent the next three blissful (and hardworking) years at Eagle Coaches obtaining my NVQ in Heavy Goods Mechanics (When mechanics were mechanics, working on AEC's, Leopards, Tigers & old B58's). Went off my passion and spent the next three to four years working abroad, and swapping many bar jobs in South Bristol.
Met my wife of many years in 1999 and have not looked back since. Happily married and enjoying my love of live and buses again. I own ex Wilts & Dorset Bristol VR 3455 (KRU855W), she is my pride and joy, and is currently undergoing a complete rebuild!
Still grumpy and annoyed at how our once great country has gone to the dogs, and cant wait for us to become self sufficient again and bring back industry to these great shores. LOL ;-)
