Just about the time Adolph Hitler was marching in Europe I was trying to determine the exact direction of my future career.
I
could be a train driver, or maybe a taxidermist. I had all the attributes
for a successful male fashion model, but did my future truly lie in Hollywood
as a
Oliver Hardy double?
So hard to choose!

On the buses
A very long time ago I drove a double-decker bus for Liverpool Corporation. It didn't last long, but it was interesting. For some anecdotes on the period in bite-sized chunks, please click on the bus above.

The Story of Hale
Three hundred years ago a fabulous giant lived here. He was John Middleton and he stood nine feet three inches in his Jacobean socks. He was known, perversely, as the Childe of Hale. That's the suit he wore to visit t'king in Lunnun.
For a quick tour of the village and a flick through Hale's history, please click on the Childe above.
