YOUR FAVORITE PART OF THE JOB?

The people! I don’t dread seeing anyone at work

 

AND YOUR LEAST FAVORITE?

Dragging empty barrels outside – in winter your hands are freezing

 

TEA OR COFFEE?

Tea definitely – Yorkshire or Chinese. I’ve recently discovered Japanese seaweed tea, probably like Marmite for some

 

BEST ADVICE TO GIVE YOUR YOUNGER SELF?

Don’t be stubborn. Explore all the possibilities life throws at you

When you can’t find the sunshine, be the sunshine!

Catfish, chicken feet (delicacy in China) pigs tongue
