Brazenly British and perhaps a tad eccentric. Watched far too many episodes of 'The Avengers' when a young lad. What is it the Jesuits say? 'Give me a child until he is seven and I shall show you the man....". That explains everything!
You might not guess to look at me but I am a rather keen 'green'. We disposed of our car over 25 years ago, eat home-cooked organic food and manage to survive without ever having owned a microwave, dishwasher, tumble drier or freezer. I have a long suffering other half and two children who have managed to grow up looking surprisingly normal. Needless to say, I am working on it.
I have dabbled in freelance work for BBC radio and television in the past but you'll have a job on your hands finding it! Currently musing about video podcasting. My dear wife is rightly horrified...
Wildly keen on Vienna. I love that city. Hopefully I'll return there in November. Watch out for a strangely caped Englishman sauntering past the Opera House whilst inspecting his pocket watch and stroking his pointedly waxed moustache. Ah, if only I were lying...

bootsartemis says:
"Absolute class, and the man knows how to wear a bowtie. Soft place in his brain, oh make that his heart, for muted yellow. Other than not liking loud noise and graffiti, Monocle has exquisite taste in art, books, music, world culture, and Victorian culinary appurtenances. He takes photographs that are either intriguing, or funny, or beautiful, or both, or all three. An essential sine qua non of flickrworld, Monocle is a gentleman and a connoisseur. I recommend him highly for any starring movie role you may wish to offer him. Respectfully submitted, B.A."

Who the flickr is Johnson says:
"A gentlemanly eccentric and an eclectic photographer. A genuine, stylish product from the British Isles, full of philosophical wit and old world charm. My favorite UKer (after the Famous Five and Miss Marple). Congratulations, Monocle!"
