Pete McCarthy (born Peter Charles McCarthy Robinson) (9 November 1951 - 6 October 2004), was a British broadcaster and successful travel writer, noted for his books McCarthy's Bar and The Road to McCarthy.His mother moved to England from her native Ireland during the Second World War to work as a nurse. It was during this time she met her future husband, at a dance. Peter was the eldest of four children, educated at West Park Grammar School (now De La Salle School), St Helens by the Christian Brothers. Peter later described this experience as "corporal punishment and awakening sexuality" which he compared with the experience of Stephen Dedalus in the book "a mixture of hellfire and brimstone."
