David is York born and bred, a distinction he shares with Dame Judi Dench, Frankie Howard and Guy Fawkes- and proud of it! In the Fifties, he was a chorister at York Minster and upon leaving school worked as a chartered accountant.

In 1965, he joined Barclays and prior to early retirement in 1990, he was the manager of York
University branch for 5 years. Thus his title of  "the Bank Manager from York".

He has spoken from Rotterdam to Rotherham and Denby Dale to Dublin - not to mention the Grosvenor
House, the Savoy and the Cafe Royale.
