I was so involved in science and learning about the human body that I simply didn't have any interest in what was cool until I was a teenager. I inherited my father's taste in things, I suppose. And depending on how entertaining those stories were I may have asked for them at least until my teen years. Then I would have been too embarrassed for bedtime stories.
No, I'm not. I'm British. I was originally from a small village but when I was brought here I was living in London.
