Extracurricular interests and activities:

Most of my free time is spent working as a taxi service for my children. During wet weekends in winter you can generally find me shivering on a touchline somewhere in Surrey.

I am an ardent Liverpool fan, with a healthy admiration for Steven Gerrard’s football skills.
