Stephen Pitman went to Wadham School in Crewkerne,studied Polymer Science at The Centre for Polymer Studies - Trowbridge played football for Yeovil Town and Bristol City Youth and enjoys windsurfing. He has also written a book (Don't Play the Wicca Man) similar in humour to Douglas Adams and Terry Pratchett and a couple of papers on plasticisers in resilient flooring. Best to give the latter a miss though!
