When I am abroad I miss good old traditional English vegetables, especially sprouts, cabbage swede, etc. Favourite "Square" My favourite 'straight' has to be Terry Thomas, the man's just too English to be English. My house is . . . I've recently bought my first dwelling (that's how the estate agent described it). It's a small two bedroomed place on the outskirts of my home town of Swindon. I hope to move in sometime in June when all our touring should be finished. Favourite comedy acts My favourite comedy acts are too many to mention but basically it's Laurel and Hardy. I love the 'slapstick' stuff and Chaplin was just brilliant. I must say that I prefer film comedies such as Jack Lemmon and Zero Mostel to the T.V. series like Little and Large, Cannon and Ball, etc. Historical figures I'd like to meet Jesus Christ - to see if he could heal people like the Bible says. Walt Disney - a classic example of a man who made things work for himself, not bad for someone who was an ambulance driver. Genghis Khan - any man that conquers nearly five million square mils of land has to be worth talking to. Columbus - I've always been interested in discovery and he was probably the best. John Wayne - simple because he was an 'All American Boy'. In 1999 I will be: In 1999 I'll probably be dead!

Swindon, Wiltshire - because I was born there. Texas, New Mexico and Arizona - this is where it's real cowboy country and apart from that there are such marvelous deserts. Japan - it's so different from anything else. My time of year My favourite time of year is summer. I am a great 'sun lover' and I enjoy the outdoor life, i.e., countryside, animals, nature, etc. It is at this time of the year that you can experience all these things if you are in the right places.
