Are you the same John Fowles who lived and worked in Gibraltar a few years ago.
Sorry Tony no the nearest I ever went to "the Rock" was Majorca,
I now know of several namesakes; the most famous being one of my favo(u)rite authors who currently resides in Lyme Regis in my home county of Dorset. if you look at my web site:-
http://www.johnfowles.org.uk
you will see a link to a page on the novelist that I wrote after a number of students from Florida had contacted me by email thinking I could help them in their literary studies!! There is also a John Fowles in California who pre-empted the obvious hotmail email address so that I had to settle for
fowlesjohn@hotmail.com.And yet another Californian (or possibly the same one) in 2001 when I wished to register my own web site domain had johnfowles.com and someone else in the UK had taken johnfowles.co.uk so I settled on my org.uk domain. Since then another John Fowles "(not the writer but another one!) a bowler Ellesmere Port, Cheshire, England." signed my site's guest book on October 23 last year so I'll copy this to him in case he happens to be your lost mate
John Fowles
