I didn't realise that I was so distinguished.
At least, according to Meta.

Lenox Napier is a British expat who has spent most of his life in Spain. Here's a brief overview of his background:
- *Early Life*: Born on June 28, 1928, in England, Lenox was raised by his bohemian parents in Norfolk. He attended Radley College and later graduated from the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst.
(My father would have been three years old when I was born. I went to Rugby school and disappeared to Spain with my parents as soon as I could.)
- *Military Career*: Lenox had a distinguished military career, serving in the British Army from 1946 to 1983. He saw action in Malaya and was awarded the Military Cross in 1957. He rose through the ranks, becoming a Major-General and holding various commands, including the Berlin Infantry Brigade and General Officer Commanding Wales.
(Thanks, but no thanks.)
- *Life in Spain*: In 1967, Lenox's parents moved to Mojácar, Almería, Spain, where they opened a bar called La Sartén. Lenox joined them and eventually made Spain his home. He attended an international school in Seville and later became a prominent figure in the expat community.
- *Career*: Lenox founded a newspaper called The Entertainer, which was widely read in the expat community. He also wrote for other publications, including El Indálico, and worked with Cope Mojácar radio.
(More or less.)
- *Activism*: Lenox is known for his advocacy work, particularly through AULAN, an organization that supports small property owners in Spain and fights against corruption and injustice. He has been involved in various campaigns, including protests against the demolition of homes and advocating for the rights of European citizens living in Spain.
(AULAN lasted about five minutes.)
- *Personal Life*: Today, Lenox is a well-known figure in Almería, recognized for his writing, his love of history, gastronomy, and culture, and his commitment to his community. He has been married to Jennifer Dawn Wilson since 1959 and has three children.
(Gastronomy? I'll eat anything. As for Jennifer Dawn Wilson, I wish her and her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren well.)
