Not for All the Tea in China

<p>I was born in 1947 to a mother from Barnsley and a father from Essex. I have three great loves in my life: Barnsley FC Yorkshire County Cricket Club and my wonderful wife. My wife is my rock; Yorkshire CCC are my summertime passion; the Super Reds break my heart year after year- but I wouldn't swap them for any other team in the world. </p><p> </p><p>I have tried to look at the world of business through the gaze of a mixture of reality humour and on occasions sheer disbelief. Every word and every event documented is the absolute truth. If you enjoy reading this book half as much as I enjoyed writing it then I will have achieved more than I could ever have hoped for.  </p>
