Went to Manchester. Was in the university until the revolution of 1968. It was a gas! Thrown out and went to the great Architectural Association - now there's a school - in London. Couldn't make money in, nor did I fit in, architects' offices so tried other avenues. Have been an underground pipe designer, a property manager, and latterly an expert witness in delay mitigation. Had one job where my budget was a million dollars a day (I never managed to spend it. It's quite difficult, you know). Have lived in 27 houses in 6 countries in 31 years of marriage. My wife tells my son, "Don't worry - your dad doesn't know what he wants to be yet".
I want to be a writer.view less
