On The Spot With Rob Shaw

What was your first job?

I was a paperboy. In terms of a real job, I worked in a bank as a cashier.

If you weren’t in your current position, what would you be doing?

I would like to be a radio DJ or, in complete contrast, work at an animal shelter.

What was your worst mistake?

This is a hard one. I think mistakes are good in that they build you as a person and character. I don’t think regrets are good so I don’t think any mistake is the worst!

What’s you ideal day away from the office?

Lie-in, tea and toast and a trip to the seaside for chips! Followed by a nice bottle of Sauvignon Blanc and a horror film.

Name one person you would like to have dinner with.

Cheryl Cole.

What was your best subject at school?

French.

What are your hobbies?

Music, concerts, food, cinema – I should say exercise too but I can’t lie!

What would you do if you won the Lotto?

I’d get straight on a plane and sit on a beach somewhere with a cocktail deciding on how to spend my winnings! Then I’d make sure my family and friends were well looked after and make sure that I was comfortable for life.

What’s your favourite item of clothing?

T-shirts – I wear them all year round!

What’s your favourite time of day?

Tea time!

What’s the best thing about Yorkshire?

The people, the tea and the puddings!

What would you like your epitaph to be?

That I was a nice person who always did his best in whatever situation and that I looked after anyone who was close to me.
