I have one sister, Fiona. She is the Director of the English For You Language Institue in Hastings. She is married to Leszek Skowronski and have three children.

My parents were Colette and Dennis Cullen. My father died in 1995, after a short illness. He worked for Barclays Bank since leaving school (during WW2 he served in the RNVR, in the Battle of the Atlantic, Coastal Forces and West Africa Campaign) and was a senior manager for them. He was also the first Catholic Mayor of Eastbourne in 1983. My mother still lives in Eastbourne, she was a primary school teacher all her working life.

My mother's side of the family were Larners. (see Edgar).Her brother Pat Larner lives in Norwich. His sons Richard, Chris and Jaan Patrick (JP) all work and live around Norwich. Jaan Patrick Larner is published his first book on the 17th December The Modern Cad Guide and is available from www.amazon.co.uk  (direct link) or direct from the publisher http://www.modern-cad.com/  for £9.99. This will be a humorous book and a good stocking filler. JP describes it as:"A guide to celebrate and recapture the fun and exuberance of a simpler time when men were men, women were women, and everyone actually had some fun"

My mother's sister, Melda lives in Bramhall with her husband Leslie.They have two daughters, Helen and Pam.
