Dave McMahon

Dave left school at the age of 30 with the odd O-level (like Ancient Icelandic) and a doctorate in something so obscure even he can’t remember what it’s about. He then joined the FCO. Dave has travelled to most European countries (including several that don’t exist any more, though he denies responsibility), as well as Bangladesh, Barbados, Thailand, St Vincent, UAE, Laos, and many more. Having managed to escape from London in 2001, Dave’s now resorted to taking unpaid leave to stave off the evil day of his return.
