What’s your favourite item of clothing? I can’t say that I am particularly fashion conscious but I tend to favour a decent pair of jeans.

What is your favourite time of day? I tend to be a morning person.

What would you like your epitaph to be? My wife and family joke that it doesn’t matter what is going on around me or if I’m really ill, I always say that ‘I’m fine’. So something like, ‘Loving dad, devoted husband, loyal friend and even though he’s dead he will still be fine.’
