PROFILE
PICTURE : TOM BANKS
When I ’ m not working , I like to spend my time … with friends and family , eating , chatting and relaxing . I ’ m also a DJ so I ’ m known to turn a relaxing evening into a rave !
My guilty pleasures are … Shisha , it may be controversial , but it has a rich , cultural heritage that many don ’ t know or understand .
The best holiday I ever had was … It wasn ’ t the best at the time , but I look back and find it hilarious now ; my youngest brother and I went to northern Pakistan into the mountains . We ended up in the most beautiful places , but it was like an episode of Top Gear where you drive up the mountain right on the edge looking death in the face ! We were literally closing our eyes praying we ’ d make it back to the Boro alive .
Not many people know this about me but … I ’ m pretty decent on the old ones and twos AKA turntables .
In retirement , I ’ ll spend my time … I hope I ’ m allowed to retire at a reasonable age , but they seem to keep moving the goalposts . Hopefully I ’ ll spend my time in the sun , exploring new places , riding a Harley and listening to some killer tunes - preferably Old Skool Hip Hop !
