Personal Section

I come from the North-West of England - Cheadle Hulme, south of Manchester, although I've lived most of my life in a small town called Whitby on the North East Coast.  Although I now live in Japan, and the previous two years in Brussels it seemed somehow appropriate to bring together a page of useful information about the UK.
