Q & A:
Who would you invite to your dream dinner party?
Good friends, each carrying a bottle of red
What is the worst job you’ve ever done?
Central Buying Department at United Biscuits. Made a friend for life, learnt a lot about how financial markets work and got free biscuits every day. But none of that made up for working somewhere that Reggie Perrin would have felt at home
If you could edit your past, what would you change?
I would have chosen a different subject at University, and attended at least some of the lectures
What song would you like played at your funeral?
In the Early Morning Rain – the Paul Weller version is pretty good
What is the most important lesson life has taught you?
If you instinctively think something is a good idea it normally is and vice versa
What phrase sends a chill down your spine?
03:00hrs “Hello Bill. I am at (insert venue here) and we haven’t got (insert essential piece of kit here).” I think Andy Jackson holds the record – I recall he called three times in one night from the Grosvenor
Favorite band?
Foo Fighters take some beating
How do you like to spend your time off?
Our dog and I can often be found staring at my pond
Signature dish?
Chicken Surprise – however it’s become less surprising over the years
The track you’d play at sunset in Ibiza?
Spirit of Eden by Talk Talk – the whole album. That should clear the way to the bar
