This is Ian Waugh

I am a broadcaster, media consultant, writer, published author, historian and historic researcher. I also have interests in digital broadcasting.

Also a proud country lad who currently leads a city life. I am literally half Devonshire and half Cockney (if that's possible) and currently based in the English South East although I still retain strong ties with the English Westcountry where I was born and brought up. I also have connections with friends and colleagues in the Mediterranean where I have worked and lived over the years.

ianwaugh.com is a hotchpotch of passion, luck, admiration, behaviour, agreeable times, appalling periods and principle.

I adore adventurism, the idiosyncratic, the creative, the distinctive, the amusing and the individualistic. I seriously detest and I am unapologetically intolerant of racism in any form. I thoroughly respect and fully embrace an open and multicultural environment. I adore the truth and hate liars, bragging, social actors and show-offs. Trust me when I say I am only impressed by those who naturally do not try to impress. It's quite endearing and very attractive.

My somewhat direct, uncompromising way has become a personal hallmark and my prized possession is my personal privacy which I defend and treasure above all else. I am also a bit of a perfectionist. Basically, "what you see is what you get" which is the basis of the few scribblings on this web site.
