Chris Whitfield


Biography

I am an accountant with a sense of humour, which most people consider a contradiction. I live in the UK on the Wirral with my wife and two bitches. That's a Border Terrier and a Cockapoo, in case you're thinking I'm living the life of an African tribe leader who believes he's a gangsta rapper. I have three grown up children but have never quite managed to grow up myself.

At the age of eighteen, I was often mistaken for pop idol, Donny Osmond. Nearly four decades on and ravaged by time, the best I can now do in the look-a-like stakes is Richard Osman from BBC TV's Pointless. Osmond to Osman, how the mighty fall.

Chimpanzees in Dungarees is my first published book. I can imagine there's already more than a few, hoping it's the last.

Babies Called Keith, Shellsuits, Reliant Robins, Tripe, No Smoking Areas, Knitting, Streetwise Dogs, The Deferential Working Class... Chimpanzees in Dungarees has more than ninety such disappearing things. Part satire, part nostalgia, part autobiography, part social commentary, this book has been written with one sole objective. To take the proverbial and have a laugh. Or is that two objectives?
