When he left school, he went to a garage as an apprentice engineer, but with very little training and expected to do M.O.T.s by himself, he left and went to work at Horbury Tyres. Here he got good training just on tyres. During the drought in the 1990's he was on the road seeing to the tyres of the water tankers. Under new ownership the company started doing repairs as well as tyres, so Thurstan is now getting training as an engineer which he always wanted.
Thurstan and Lisa have two beautiful and clever daughters: Lucy Louise born on 19 April 1999 and Bethany Ann born on 12 November 2003.
They had a chocolate labrador dog called Millie. After Millie died they now have cross greyhound, Oscar.
