Welcome To Scunthorpe, My Name Is Bernard.

Good evening people of the internet. My name is Bernard Grimshaw. I am over 60 years old. I reside in the North Lincolnshire town of Scunthorpe, having been born in Cirencester, Gloucestershire. Quite a step down in the world. You will learn many things about my life in the coming days, weeks and months. And I think you will like listening to what I have to say.

If you wish to know a little about me then here are some of my likes and dislikes.

Likes...
  • I collect rare vinyl records, particularly of Genesis, Yes, and more specifically anything that involves the fabulous Rick Wakeman.
  • I enjoy Newsnight, with a good ale in my hand.
  • I have a large array of hi-tec sports clothing, which I never wear, but feel too close an affinity to it to throw away.

Dislikes...

  • Vanessa Feltz
  • Popular Music, Yobs and chain pubs
  • Channel Five
  • My Arthritic lower back
  • Innovation


Over the coming posts I will be venting my fury on anything and everything, ranging from professional sports, trains, badly kept pedestrian paths and Plumbers.

For now. Bernard.
