The bizarrely improbable yet real life escapades of a globetrotting market researcher. "If anything can go wrong, it just did".
When I tell people I am a market researcher, they invariably assume I am one of those people who accost you in the high street, wielding a clip board. In fact, my work - mostly in industrial product sectors - has taken me to building sites underground, to mines on mountain tops, sheds at the bottom of fields, prestigious high rise offices, labs and workshops, factory floors and even a moving tractor - in short, anywhere BUT the high street...
Over 20 years, I have carried out research studies on a host of offbeat products, from blind rivets to detrenching grapnels, and transponders for gliders to curved shower doors. My work is decidedly "left field", and the articles uploaded so far - to be grouped ultimately under broader chapter headings such as Navigation, Technology, Security, Hotels, Food, Language etc - portray this curious world I inhabit and my battles against adversity in its myriad, shape-shifting forms.
As a colleague once observed: "Weird stuff happens to you."
