Member: Terry Adlam
I was born at a very early age and could swim and get out of sacks by time I was three. Due to my parents occupations, I have travelled extensively (They were master criminals on the run) and can speak fluent rubbish.
I went to Cambridge and Oxford, for the day, and have a degree in falsification and a Batchelors cup-a-soup.
I am married with two daughters and a mortgage and live in the tropical splendour that is Slough.
I am not related to anyone famous but proud to have been the Chair of Slough Writers for the past 18 years.
