User:Anthony William Prouse

Anthony William Prouse, son of Terrence William Charles, Grandson of William Rufus Orlando. Born Woking 1960. Spent childhood in France, Cyprus, Malaya, with parents and siblings. Returned to UK for secondary education. Failed dismally at school due to inadequate talent within the teaching pool.

Began working life as Monkey keeper at Colchester zoo, an environment he often described as being similar to "School" only better behaved. His natural affinity with the animal kingdom may have continued had it not been for the reptile keepers constant attempts to lock him in with the other animals. A particularly unnerving incident involving "Pasha" the Black Panther and a litter picking stick led him to the conclusion that remaining in the Zoo would eventually mean "he" would be "food" as opposed to "Feeder" so a move into the catering world beckoned.
