What’s your dream job? A lot of you know what I do, but for those of you living under a rock. or from the planet Zod here goes: I’m actually semi-retired now, but for around 20 years I made a tough living playing sax. Pubs, clubs, even busking on the streets. Pubs were hard work, […]
What makes a good leader? One of the less brilliant ideas I had as a young man was to try for Officer Selection in the RAF. In the early seventies as a young airman, I had loads of ambition and brains, but no real direction. I’d been joined up by exasperated parents to get me
If you could un-invent something, what would it be? A guy called Otto I believe in the 1870’s onwards, along with those chappies Benz and Diesel, made engines and motor transport possible.

Think back on your most memorable road trip. Without a doubt the furthest I have ever driven. It was about 1500 miles plus a vey long ferry from Plymouth to Santander. I had decided to up sticks and emigrate. This was about 25 years ago. I’d had a nasty accident climbing and at 45 was
