The Question & Answer Zone...

What's your favourite genre of music?

Cliff Richards & Gospel.

When you're not at Epsom Hospital Radio, what are you doing?

I work as a legal secretary in Croydon since 1973, it's the only job I've ever had!

If you had £1,000,000 to spend on yourself and no-one else what would you spend it on?

I'd have a nice long holiday in the Cotswolds, with plenty of food festivals, fab car to drive around in and private concert with Cliff Richard.

What is your ideal holiday destination?

The Cotswolds in both Oxfordshire and Gloucestershire, honey coloured buildings, a peaceful atmosphere and beautiful views!

What is your favourite film?

My Fair Lady, or something equally light hearted, Sound Of Music, Mary Poppins. Ok, I do realise this is the average fare for Christmas Day, but then who wants to think too hard when they don't have to be at work?

What is your favourite TV programme?

I like soap operas like Corrie or Eastenders, game shows like who want's to be a millionaire or Britain's got talent, the American shows constantly repeated like Friends, Fraser, Will & Grace. Songs Of Praise and the Vicar Of Dibley.

Who is your favourite comedian?

I like more traditional sorts of comedy, I think that Ant & Dec are the Morecambe and Wise of their day.

Come on folks, since when has there actually been a point to games and sport?

What is your favourite drink?

Cinzano in lemonade with plenty of ice and lemon.

What is your favourite food?

Chinese if you're offering. Plenty of lip smacking crispy fried duck, sesame prawn toasts, can I have a pork dish too please?! If there's no Chinese, it'll be loads of cheese and chocolate.

What inspires you?

The Cotswolds, the above mentioned food and the music of Cliff Richard (or Cliffy Baby as I affectionately know him!).

Middle name?

Ann

Star sign?

Leo the Lion, I'm coming back as a pussy cat one day so I'll still be Leo or whatever the female equivalent is, Leonora or is it Leona?

Favourite smell?

Lavender. The National Lavender Collection in Norfolk can't be beaten, a sight to behold when its bloom is ready to be harvested!
