I guess it’s time to give myself up and submit a biography! I’m a Blackpool sand-grown ‘un (though now living just outside the place because it’s gorn orff in recent years.) I’m old enough to have just celebrated my Silver Wedding anniversary to Peter the Philistine, though I was of course a child bride. As […]

Lived various parts of Scotland and England left school 1967 from Kingsbury High, Warwickshire and started work underground same year and have been there since (obviously coming out for sunshine sometimes). Married with 1 son 27yrs old. A couch potato regards going out and doing but hope to change shortly. An avid time team fan, […]

I have been a fan of Time Team from the very first programme, and have not missed one since. My archaeological experience is, however, virtually nil – I am very much the armchair researcher. At college I was in the arch.soc. and I have the dubious honour of having found a post hole on one […]

I’ve been interested in history for over 20 years through my hobby of table top wargaming. About 10 years ago I volunteered to become a Property Guide at a local (Council owned) farm complex, with a history dating from the Domesday through to the present day, and the research I did – generated by the […]

guess you could call me a long-time poster, or “oldie” of the forum. I’ve been posting since the forum first opened on the Channel 4 web-site. I also used to run the TTFF homepage but had to give it up due to the pressures of work early in 2000. I am a 25 years old […]

I’m still living with my parents in Cheddar, Somerset. Although I went to Swansea University for three years – initially to study psychology, but changed to philosophy after a year – I came away in June 2001 without a degree. This was due to a dispute with my LEA, because although I passed all my […]

I hail from Kent and was born in Canterbury although apparently I moved to the village of Herne about 6 miles away at age 2 days. I’ve been there ever since (apart from a small period in the North Sea!) I went to school at Chatham House Grammar (Floreat Domus Chathamensis) in Ramsgate and was […]

I live with my wife Caroline and daughter Kirree (born Jan 97) in the Isle of Man. love museums and historical sites of all sorts. I particularly like Viking things and have been to Iceland, The Faroe Islands, Orkney, Islay, Ireland, and Brittany as well as loads of sites on the UK mainland. I started […]

I was born in Simla British India and raised mainly on Merseyside where I still live. I became interested in mineral collecting in 1947 whilst on holiday in the South West of England. Gaining an honours degree in Geology at Liverpool University I went into teaching. I am now retired due to ill-health and edit […]

I think I am one of the older posters and I post as an avid Time team supporter and with a long time interest in history and archaeology; but I know little about either. I am a retired college principal; my subject was English, and I spent all my working life in education, in comprehensives […]
