Introduction I guess you can see from the entries so far that I'm an untypical typical W.A.S.P. male, with a China connection. I'm married with a daughter and a son - daughter married, son with a partner. I retired from teaching after 23 years in a post-16 college, in 2002. I've continued to enjoy the 'interests' I've listed since then although the previous subsidies for courses are a memory now, so I'm not sure what happens next. I'm not enjoying the degeneration that has come with age - arthritis, hearing loss, need for ever-more-powerful spectacles, but whatthehell as mehitabel would say or is it archy?
