The Society for the Preservation of Beers from the Wood
(Established 1963)

STOP ME AND BUY ONE.

Hello. I am the latest in a short line of SPBW Product Managers. I have been asked to write about myself. I can't remember being asked that before. Maybe I did it at primary school. That was a long time ago. I left there in 1970. Then came secondary school. Did I write about myself there? I still can't remember being asked. Oh well, I can't put it off any longer, so here goes.

In 1975, after leaving secondary school, I went to work for the GPO/British Telecom as an apprentice telephone engineer. After 29 years of working in various BT departments, I escaped and I am between jobs at the moment. Anyway, to the beer...

My first real ales were Young's Special and Fuller's London Pride in the late 1970's. Since then, I have consumed a variety of others but I don't keep a check of how many. I joined CAMRA in the 1980's and the SPBW in 2004. I enjoy going to beer festivals and pubs around England. My local is the Andover Arms, Hammersmith, where they serve an excellent pint of Chiswick Bitter and the rest of the Fuller's range.

Now, what else was I going to say? I've done the school bit. I've done the work bit. I've done the beer bit.

Interests other than beer? Birdwatching is one of these and I am a member of the RSPB and the WWT. Also, I like various types of music, books and films but not necessarily the music from the film of the book. Photography, computers and the internet fit somewhere in my interests too. Not forgetting, I have been told I make excellent pickled eggs.

Anyway, that's all for now. I've got to go and think about some new products. And, for what it's worth, I don't smoke, I don't drive but I do own a television! So there, too! (Apologies to John and Roger)
