    Ok, so here goes – my “official” job title is “Road Transport Consultant Engineer”!!
    It is a really interesting job, that keeps me off the streets between 09:00 and 17:30, and stops me being a “Hoodie”!!!!

    I investigate road accidents/collisions, and if they are really serious, I sometimes re-create the incident. In law courts, I am regarded as an expert witness.

    When I am not working, my hobbies are amateur dramatics , classsical music and old (Veteran, vintage and classic) cars

    I also have a bit of a weakness for Chinese food – and very dark chocolate.
