A little bit about me.
I am a very senior citizen who has taken up computing as a hobby, mainly to try and keep my brain active as my body, alas, is not so active.
Some years ago I took a course on Object Orientated Computing with the Open University and learnt a bit about Smalltalk programming. Smalltalk is a pure Object Orientated programming language.
I worked for British Rail from 1935 till 1979 apart from a break of approx. 6 years serving my king and country. From 1935 till 1940 I was mainly in the Burntisland/Dundee district working at Tay Bridge Goods, Tillicoultry, St Monans and also at Falkirk Grahamston and Corstorphine.
During WW II, I served in 7th and 4th Battalions of The Black Watch (RHR) and then with the 12th Battalion The Sherwood Foresters in India, until demobilisation in 1946.
During the latter part of my railway career I finished up as a Computer Programmer and Systems Analyst, in Buchanan House, Glasgow.
