Production planner, working in production control for a business forms printer.
If not in your present job, what would you like to do?
I would have liked to have been a pathologist.
What was your worst mistake?
Letting my wife drive me to A&E – she crashed.
What would your ideal day away from the office be?
A day in the countryside walking, shooting and camping with my family – there may be some real ales in there, too.
Name one person you would like to have dinner with.
Johnny Cash – how could you come up with lyrics like that and not have a story to tell?

Biology.
What are your hobbies?
Walking, shooting and gardening.
What would you do if you won the lottery?
Buy my ideal home in the country and have a small holding.
What is your top timesaving tip?
Deal with it now, don't put it off.
What is your favourite time of day?
6am – it's easy to get things done before the day's surprises start.
What is your favourite garment?
I'm a man so probably my trainers and jeans – I know it's a weekend when I'm wearing them.
What is the best thing about being in Yorkshire?
I was born in Yorkshire so it has to be the fact that whatever part of the county you're in, people say it like it is.
What would you like your epitaph to be?
Cheers!
