Born in London SW6, hence the strange accent.

My company is probably best known for producing the TV ratings (which we don't actually do anymore). We are still often referred to as AGB, which is what we were called before Robert Maxwell fell off his boat. Right now we're working on some Internet-based projects (aren't we all!) [No. Ed.]
