What is your idea of a perfect meal?

Probably a rare sirloin steak with all the trimmings, especially onion rings and Beanies Sauce.

What is your favourite way to relax?

Sitting in a quiet real ale pub working my way along the hand pumps or watching a quality drama on TV with a glass of port and a cheese board.

What is your greatest extravagance?

My Morris Minor Traveller, Triumph Sprint ST1050 motorcycle, Fender Stratocaster electric guitar and my smart TV.

Do you have any pets?

We have two cats.

One was abandoned by her mother on a farm and we also took in a 10 year old male when our neighbour passed away last year. Total opposites, the pair of them!

What is your greatest achievement?

Qualifying as a chartered surveyor at first attempt and having letters after my name.

What is your favourite time of the year?

Working in a plastics moulding factory in Burnley as a temporary labourer in the warehouse.

What is your favourite part of the Isle of Man?

Peel beach.

What is the last show/band that you saw live?

Mad Daddy. Simply brilliant and talented musicians.
