About Me

Tasker Dunham: West Yorkshire, England; This memoir is based on people, places, things and events I knew, with some names and details altered to avoid difficulties. I grew up in Yorkshire and worked in Leeds before going to university late, and then lived in various places around the U.K. before moving back to Yorkshire where I now live with my wife and family. I have worked in accountancy, computing and higher education, as well as in temporary jobs in factories. I tend to post two or three times each month, sometimes more.
