Hello, My name is Graham Cullingford, I am also known as Big G, and GeeCee. I was born in Swindon 1951 to Christine and Gordon Cullingford. I have a little sister Ysanne (her name is another story you'll have to ask her)

In 1979 I was a publican at my first of thirteen public houses, The Red Lion at Avebury in Wiltshire when I met my second wife, the mother of my only child,  Grant.  We then managed pubs in Swindon, Coventry, Kenilworth (x3), Cardiff, Exeter (x2), Cotswolds (x3).  We moved to The Bolingey Inn in October 1984, from a Restaurant/Inn in the Cotswolds. It was my first tenancy, and the plan was to live quietly where we normally 'holidayed', allowing Grant to grow up in my beloved Cornwall; this part of the plan ended in 1990.

I now live with my partner Barbara in Mitchell, a village 8 miles from Perranporth where I was a postman.  Barbara has 3 daughters, Lisa & Tina, who live in nearby Truro. Lisa has a husband Micheal and 3 daughters, Melissa and twins Katelin & Ellie. Tina has a son Jake. Sarah, Barbara's youngest daughter, lives in Mitchell and has 2 sons Dylan and Jayden and a daughter Alivia.  Grant is now living in nearby Trispen and is TEO for Western Talk.

My interests are, computing, rugby, cars and motor sport, and music generally, folk/traditional in particular.  I used to play Rugby Union at # 8, for my school, town and county, now I maintain my interest through television. As I've already said, my musical tastes are wide but folky/traditional Celtic in particular and I am a member of The Bolingey Troyl Band as a percussionist.

I have always been interested in cars and MG's were my passion. I started work as an Engineer in my hometown of Swindon, at the car body plant of Pressed Steel Fisher, where we produced the bodies of the MG Midget and the MG B, inter alia. From those early days of owning an extremely dog-eared Mk I Midget, things improved, and culminated in the possession of the 1973 London Motor Show car, a MGB GT V8, registration number '1974 MG'. However my subsequent impecunity in the late eighties forced me to sell it along with my 1947 MG YA saloon. (both pictured below)
