User:Escaper7

Thanks for checking out my user page. I'm London based, and and started contribuiting to Wikipedia in March 2006. For the time being, I've moved to Escaper2007 for technical reasons.

I haven't had the time to do any fancy boxes, or anything too clever on my user page I prefer to spend my time concentrating on editing articles. I write for a living and focus mainly on the UK emergency services, music, musicians and dj related articles; but have a wide range of interests including the media. My career has seen me working for and with the emergency services for 20 years, and 15 years in broadcasting and print.
