Winston Fletcher
After leaving Cambridge, where he graduated in philosophy and won a creative writing scholarship, Winston spent his career in advertising. While founding and running several agencies he found time to publish eleven books – including Meetings Meetings, SuperEfficiency, and The Manipulators, a novel. At different times he has written regular columns for all the national broadsheets. He now lives a portfolio life, with a basket of part-time jobs, and continues to do lots of writing.	A Nest in Green Lanes	"Considering that traffic is – in every sense – one of the faster changing aspects of modern life, it is amazing that bus routes have been so constant. Give or take a one-way diversion, the number 19 has huffed its way along the same London streets for well over half a century. But constancy was not a quality my mum attributed to my dad. As she had done many times before, Bessie was taking an hour's bus ride to abhorrent Battersea, deliberately unheralded, in order to catch Albert red-handed, hard at it with the Battersea Bitch. "None of us had any premonition of the agonising journey upon which we had all now embarked..." Winston Fletcher's powerful memoir of growing up in post-war North London is nearing completion now.
