Family

I was born in Derby in England as the first child of my parents Clifford and Rita. I have a two years younger sister Karen. I vae no girlfriend, doe to lack of interest.

Home

I lived the first 6.5 years of my life in Ockbrook (a small village near Derby). In November 1971 my family moved to Oberwinterthur in Switzerland. There we have lived ever since, at three different addresses, at the current one since the late 1980s. I live at my parents as sub-tenant, that is simple less expensive and less work, and they have the space and are delighted to have company ant that someone is here when they are traveling. Which idiot actually came up with the idea of abolishing multiple generations living together?

I went through various forms of education, kindergarten, shool, apprenticeship and study.
