Description
I was born in Liverpool on 21 September 1974, where my parents, grandparents and great grandparents had lived as long as anyone could remember. As a consequence, I still know the words to every Beatles song and am frequently accused of stealing the cutlery at dinner parties.
My parents moved to Kent in 1981, where I attended the local Catholic primary school and was teased mercilessly for my pronunciation of words such as 'last' and 'past' (it's 'laarst' and 'paarst', don't you know). My unusual pronunciation was tolerated, even during elocution lessons, although I do suspect the nuns may have beaten it out of me somewhere along the way, as I sound less like Cilla Black these days.
At secondary school, I was generally considered to be bright, despite being mathematically, scientifically and linguistically challenged. Well, the latter isn't entirely true - I was good at English. Nevertheless, I left the local girls' grammar school with a good set of GCSEs and A levels, intending to study music. In a strange fit of panic, I turned down my place at music college and went to Leicester University to read English. My career in classical music may have been short-lived, but I still play and sing, and can often be heard belting out a few numbers at the local Irish pub after a Guinness or three.
