At that time Terry worked on commission in sales and marketing, a time which Joan described as “the yuppie days, where there was lots of money to be made in the City of London” and lived in East Finchley.
He particularly enjoyed the Lahore Kebab House on Commercial Road, and Joan said the couple hung around in Muswell Hill when she finished her studying and moved to the capital to live with Terry in 1996.
By 1999 the couple moved to Norwich, as psychiatry - the field in which Joan works - had taken a turn for the worst in the city, foreshadowing what would become Terry’s most passionate fight in Norfolk and Suffolk.
