Buggered if I can remember very well, to be quite honest. And my Mum and Dad have got the only extant copies of my thesis, other than the one in the Uni library.

I do remember the first sentence of my conclusion. I copied a line from Norman Davies (and gave myself an extra reference, to boot): "In the beginning there was no [thesis]. Now the last words are flowing onto the last pages."

This was a maths PhD, as you know!
