About Me

I am always available, even at short notice, unless I am already booked. I am reliable; punctual; compliant; patient; hard-working; and happy. I take direction easily. I am active though elderly. I have a full beard, but only a little white hair on my head. I hold full clean current driving licence. I hold a current UK passport. I can work without glasses. I am a non-smoker. I live in south east London, near Bromley in Kent. I have my own transport so I consider myself pretty close to almost anywhere within the M25.

I have a huge fund of life experience to call on when acting is called for: I served five years in the RAF as a medical orderly/nurse; I've been a salesman; a wrestler; a bouncer; a merchant seaman; a barman; a debt collector; a cab driver; and a kangaroo hunter. My voice is soft, and my accent is well-travelled cockney with a touch of culture. I have my own transport and will travel anywhere any time.

For relaxation I play cards and snooker, and go to the pub.
