I am known on the Forum as Alexander, and also Alex, which is also alright. Alexander is the name my dad gave me, and I chose to use it.
My dad's surname at birth is Byford, and any other explaining has been done on the UKIP thread months ago. The whole fact is that my grandmother changed my dad's surname when he was about a year old, because his parents split up, and she married someone called Clarke, who became his step-dad. So I thought if she can do it, so can I, and I changed Clarke.
Now really, Alexander or Alex will do, no more on this!
More importantly, did you all read my article on bagpipes?
However, thanks Ed and Vic for reading my articles, it makes me happy to know that people read them. Presently I am doing a course in computer skills, and hope to put up a blog before long.
Have you noticed that I use pictures of Dover for my articles? I took them myself. Once I get round to purchasing a digital camera, I'll make many more.
