Hi Hunter,
I always enjoy reading your articles when you write in the Sunday Times.
What do you think of property prices in London? Do you think they will continue to rise or will there be a crash? Have you helped your children or grand children get on the property ladder?

Hello Hunter - my question is, do you manage to see much of your grandchildren? This is a common topic on here.
BTW - I was at Durham the same time as you, but we never met

You asked...so we delivered!
Very happy to be doing a Q&A with Hunter Davies.
He's a prolific author, journalist and broadcaster and the author of the only authorised biography of the Beatles. He was born in Johnston, Renfrewshire in 1936 and moved to Carlisle aged 11. He went on to study at Durham University where he wrote for their university newspaper Palatinate and gained a teaching diploma after his undergraduate degree.
After he left university, Hunter worked as a journalist and in 1965 he wrote the novel HERE WE GO ROUND THE MULBERRY BUSH, that was made into a film of the same name. He raised the idea of a biography of the Beatles with Paul McCartney when he met him to discuss the possibility of providing the theme song for the film. McCartney liked the idea of the book but advised him to gain the approval of Brian Epstein, and the resulting biography THE BEATLES was published in 1968.
He went on to write for publications such as Punch, New Statesman, The Guardian and The Sunday Times and he has written the FLOSSIE TEACAKE, OSSIE and SNOTTY BUMSTEAD book series for children.
THE JOHN LENNON LETTERS was published on 9 October 2012 by Weidenfeld & Nicolson and THE BISCUIT GIRLS, a book about the women who worked the Carr's Biscuit Factory, in August 2014.
Hunter’s most recent book is THE BEATLES LYRICS, published in September 2014.
Ask away - we will be sending the questions over to him on Feb 11.
