Martin from Cheshire?
Sorry if this is on the wrong board! I found a copy of the first Money Diet book in a charity shop today and noticed that in Martin's biog it says he grew up in Cheshire... As a fellow Cestrian (I live in Chester) I was wondering whereabouts it was? Maybe they should put one of those blue plaques up on the house!!
