I am an old fart.................................
at 33!
My mother came over to the UK in 1963 with her parents, she was 10 and her father worked in the Corby Steelworks, so that's how she was here.
My father came over in 1969 on vacation to see his two brothers who had lived here since the early 50s, they came here after the war to work during the 'rebuilding campaign', like most Italians they ended up in the brick yards!
During his vacation, my father met my mother at a dance, hey presto, the rest is history!
They went back and forth between England and Italy until 1974 when they purchased their first house here in England and that was that, they settled, got residency and never looked back.
Mad, they must be mad, I was three years old so had no chioce in this decision, why they left such a beautiful, warm and cultural country is beyond me, but they only ever have one answer and that is 'work' !
So now you know the story of Twincamms and how he came to be in the UK!
