"If knowledge can create problems, it is not through ignorance that we can solve them." -Isaac Asimov

Hailing from Bramhall in Cheshire, I moved to Luton in 1998 and currently reside in Leagrave. The town of Luton and its surrounds has interested me ever since.

I'm interested in adding to and expanding on a variety of articles, including those relating to areas of Luton and Beds, as well as famous and influential people from Luton. In particlur people and events associated with its industrial past.
