It has been on here many a time before so I don't mind repeating it. I'm Dave Polshaw. Yes, I live near Skipton now but am originally from Swinton near Manchester. Only 2 letters different and both with a Monday folk club :-) Recently retired computer prodder specialising in high availability. Mainly for or in close connection with Hewlett Packard and most recently for Morroisons. Half Polish and, at 67, far younger than that Shaw bloke :-)

Pretty centre left. I have a good few friends and acquaintances. Mainly from the folk world and mainly left and remainders. A few are from the right and leave factions but I never fall out with them about it mainly because although I disagree with them, they do not go out of their way to obnoxious like some of the twats on here.
