In this third part of the Sapper Clay trilogy we start another gallop through history chasing down medal winners - starting with the house next door to Sapper Clay’s in Reigate, Surrey. What was so important about his neighbours that they required an armed guard in both World Wars? We look at the lives, times and medals won by its secret inhabitants, who they worked for and ask just what was Spike Milligan (Musician, Goon, Author and Comedian) doing there during WW2?

I have a wide-ranging background in Journalism, Business Consultancy, Public Speaking and as Funeral Officiant (Celebrant). I have written extensively for National and Regional magazines, providing satirical and lifestyle columns for the New Statesman and Italian Bike magazines respectively.
Professionally, as a Business Consultant, I deal in transformation and change and I see what works and what doesn’t, in life as well as in commerce.
All my talks are illustrated, just that; I talk and there are pictures which will illustrate and explain as a background to the subject. My talks are humorous, a little abstract and deliberately thought-provoking. I can adapt and tailor my talks to your audience as part of the fixed price. I also take commissions for specific material/audiences.
My aim is to engage and inform my audience without being too serious. This will be a sideways view of life and the audience will need to think a bit, laugh a bit and take a new thought away with them. My blog can be found at www.absurvd.com
