Welcome to my new website

Many of us over 60 are counted out when part-time jobs come up despite our collective wisdom and abilities.

Published Letter in The Guardian on 10th July 2017 on University Fees   Dear Sir The initial mistake in introducing fees for university students was to make them the same for every institution.
