Introduction I have 2 Daughters Jessica an Aston graduate working in retail management in the West Midlands & Alex a Fine Art graduate making props at Nottingham Playhouse. I am divorced from their mother Jenny. I married Ruth in 1996 (see ruthprice dot com) we have 2 sons William 16 & Sam 14. I worked as a maths & IT teacher in Nottinghamshire from 1977 to 1989 and then in Peterborough City Council's Housing department as finance manager and IT project manager until I achieved redundancy/early retirement in 2005. After 6 month of domestic property maintenance I enjoyed 18 months as a web developer back at the council, then endured 2 years as the MIS manager at an adult education college. The mortgage should be paid off next year and life is still good. Did 2 months at an Amazon fulfilment centre over Christmas but not currently in work.
