ABOUT

I have been together with my lovely wife Shirley for fifteen years during which time I have learnt a lot about the benefits of unquestioning obedience.  I have been a chartered surveyor for forty years during which time I have found myself offering out my professional services over a range of subjects albeit  latterly pretty much limited to my specialist field of leasehold enfranchisement.  I have walked this earth for sixty-nine years (so far so good) and if I have learnt anything over that time it is that the simple but unequivocal acceptance of the madness of the world around us is the only sure path to a good night’s sleep.

​

I am a committed boomer.  Old-school to the core and clinging fiercely to the hope that we can retain at least some of those old-fashioned values and standards for as long as possible in the face of their seemingly inexorable disappearance before our eyes.  If you understand what I am saying here and it means something to you you will have me in a nutshell.

​

My blog is free ranging dipping in and out of my professional work at the same time as indulging in some senior brain-dumping. 

​

On the business side of things you will basically find three broad categories.  There’s the leasehold stuff relating to flats which I have been specialising in now for some while.  I also have a few things to say, and some assistance to give maybe, when it comes to selling property although I am most certainly not an estate agent.  Finally I spend quite a bit of my time nowadays on my private mission which is to find out if I am the only person in the country to whom being buried in a field (at some point in the future I should say) has any appeal.

​

On the brain-dumping side (which I have affectionately referred to as my bollocks) there is no real theme to it and I will be wandering around for example with some nostalgia, my slanted view of the world, a bit of humour which may hit or  miss and some totally free and without obligation armchair philosophy thrown in for good measure.

​

As a footnote I should warn that whilst there’s nothing here that is being deliberately offensive it may at times present challenges to the taking of offense by some more delicate souls.  Tis what tis.  As Kevin Bridges once suggested “Toughen up ya wee prick!”
