| Introduction | I am an urbanist, socialist, writer, lover of great buildings, and a passionate advocate of the Potteries and all that goes on there. My time is taken up by my family, URBME, Alsager Town FC, Lidice Lives and my weekly Sentinel column. In 2018 I published my first book 'Ballad of the Streets' with Ian R. Pearsall. I also play guitar badly, and once fronted a band that may have been responsible for the demolition of a pub in Hanley. |

You've been invited to a fancy ball but the only thing you have to wear is an orange wooly jumper. What shoes do you wear?
A pair of wooden clogs
