Description

I have penned three books that delve into my professional career. "Alarming Stories" recounts my experiences as an apprentice intruder alarm engineer at Chubb Alarms from 1976 to 1980. Written in my signature style, each incident is presented as a concise, humorous short story, making the book a delightful and easy read. It unravels a world of rudeness, danger, humour, and injustice that characterised that era, all narrated with a touch of black humour. "Alarming Stories II: Tales of a Security Engineer" picks up the narrative from 1980 to 1988, as I worked for various security companies. This volume documents the comical, nerve-wracking, and occasionally perilous incidents I encountered during this period. It serves as a reflection on the early days of intruder alarm systems in the UK and is best enjoyed alongside the original "Alarming Stories." Completing the trilogy, "Alarming Stories III: Tales of a Security Company Director" sheds light on my experiences as I navigated the realm of entrepreneurship, running my own security company from 1988 to 2001. In these pages, you'll find accounts of humour, embarrassment, frustration, annoyance, and unbelievable situations faced by both myself and my dedicated staff. This book is a recommended companion to the Alarming Stories trilogy. All of my books are generously illustrated, with at least one image accompanying each short story. They are available for Kindle in full colour, and for Paperback and Hardback editions in black and white. For an immersive reading experience for all my books, I wholeheartedly endorse seeking out the Paperback in colour, as it showcases hundreds of carefully selected images and photographs that enrich the storytelling. In addition to these memoirs, Mm book, "It's Only the Dirty Ones We Don't Want," chronicles a ten-year period of My journey through life which began as the youngest member of my generation to sit the demanding 11+ exam, which eventually secured my place at Abbey Grange CofE School in Leeds. However, the initial excitement soon gave way to disappointment when I went to collect my free school uniform. To my dismay, Rawcliffe's provided a shabby version for children from less fortunate backgrounds. This ill-fated uniform set me apart from my peers, making me an easy target for bullies and further segregating me within the school community. The experiences I endured during my five years at that institution are nothing short of astonishing by today's standards, with a disciplinary approach reminiscent of a bygone Victorian era. These tales serve as a fascinating insight into the impact of government policies and school bureaucracy on children within the education system, and they are essential reading for anyone interested in social history, humour, and the challenges faced by young students of my era. Following my departure from school. It captures my journey of self-discovery, from the early encounters with alcohol to the thrill of camping, the excitement of riding motorcycles, and the mysteries of young love. Featuring hundreds of illustrations and over 60 photographs from that time, this book serves as a poignant record of a bygone era, offering a blend of dark humour, tragedy, love and adventure at every turn.
