    Tony Hibberd

    Tony Hibberd was born in the east end of London (presumably to be close to his Mother). Now rapidly approaching his mid sixties but still alive and kicking (as far as he can tell). Having now the benefit of his extended family currently raising families of their own (12 Grandchildren and counting), he thought it was about time he got around to sharing his thoughts and musings with the world....Sorry world.
