Strange.. I went to Cardiff Uni (after Cambridge...but One doesn't like to blow Ones own trumpet does One!) and found the place totally devoid of the Welsh!

I do remember one Welsh girl called Bronwyn Evans. She spent a terrific amount of time in a haystack......

Hi Guys and Gal

My real name is Brian Baylis and I am a 60-year-old retired (early through unstable angina) railwayman, currently living in Wisbech, Cambridgeshire, but hoping to move near to Downham Market, Norfolk in near future.

I have a live-in Partner Yvonne and we have lived together for just over 4 years, having known each other a lot longer and both had failed marriages. We have no children between us, but do have from our marriages.

There are so many good films that I have seen, I don't have one particular favourite right now. Gladiator was the last one I actually saw at a cinema and now refuse to pay the high cost of going in one.

My favourite television programmes are Heartbeat and The Royal, because of my Love of the sixties, The Bill for storylines and then Casualty for the same reason.

Favourite comedies: There are just so many to choose from.

Favourite music: Most from the 1960's, ABBA and Tina Turner.

Other interests: Railways - Steam mainly, Tigers, Spiritualism, Fishing, Computing - forums especially.

Hate: Drivers that get to close behind me while driving at speed, The copper that decided to Officially Caution me for swearing at a tailgater, but let them OFF, Ignorance, Emmerdale and adverts for sofa 'Sales'.
