What did you have for breakfast? The same as every day. Home-mixed muesli with skimmed milk and a glass of water. I get all the ingredients for the muesli from the various health food shops in town. I have the same thing for lunch, too. I’m too short and too vain to get fat.
Which newspaper do you read? I buy The Sunday Times and I read it all week. There’s so much of it.
Are you pro or anti the Phoenix development? Some development is good, some is rubbish. I like things to grow organically. The horrible old factories there are coming to the end of their lives, so something needs to happen there. But something that big? 800 new homes will mean at least 200 new kids. Where are they going to go to school? Where is everybody going to go to the dentist? Where are they going to work, and park, and go to the doctors? There isn’t room for so many new people.
Favourite Lewes landmark? The War Memorial. It’s a nice design and it reminds me of what’s happened in the past. All those names of local blokes, killed in the First World War. The Lewes Rugby Club First XV all enlisted and none of them came back. They should be remembered.
What could you do to be greener? I could recycle our cardboard, but the council doesn’t provide recycling for businesses. I could also use long life light bulbs. We do recycle the tinfoil used for highlights.
What’s on your hifi? I’m still buying things in charity shops that I missed out on first time round. Vinyl. I like everything apart from French rap and Spanish techno.
Lewes would be better if… They need to get more lorries to use the by-pass instead of coming straight through town. All you need is a simple sign.
What Lewes really doesn’t need is… Unsympathetic development. And more chains moving in. We have five or six pasta chains, now, but that doesn’t really give you any more choice than one, does it?
