Favorite bits are being around for my Youngling and getting down and dirty with valeting *hums Rose Royces 'Car Wash' ;) *... ohhh and road testing, specialising in off road testing.... well they are 4x4s and someone has to check they're man enough for the odd wood collecting run, tis usually the only time in their lives they taste the mud! ;)

I'm a journalist and investment banker. I'll get my coat...
Ever been asked to write about your other job as a banker?

Wow! Banker and journalist? Two jobs that have fallen out of favour with the general public. Unfair though to be blamed for actions of others. We've bankers in the family. All good ppl.
