1. I bought my two children up in the absence of their mother (and maintenance). When she went off with someone else, she was far too busy to look after them full time, and she let me down once too often. If only I could have reversed the court maintenance order she got before I told her I would have them full time.

2. I like geocaching , which M tolerates and lets me go off while she sits in the car. Sometimes she sits outside while I crawl 70metres underground in an old mine adit. She takes me to hospital, too. Geocaching is hard to explain when someone encounters you while you are desperately clinging to the underside of a bridge, or crawling into a hole in the ground, while trying to retrieve a treasure.

3.I have a varied job: Recently I have been consulted on Waste Strategy; dealt with physical disability and access;had leaves cleared on behalf of a councillor who has a reindeer; attended learning disability meetings; older people's strategy meetings; dealt with railway issues and railway station restoration; freight quality partnerships; regional transport officers meetings; chairman of shopmobility; business units equalities self assessments on behalf of assistant directors; stood in for the boss; Local Transport Plan issues, I am going to Birmingham next week to a Network Rail conference. Jack of all trades, master of none.

4. I refuse to acknowledge the title I have gained because my daughter has had two children. Obviously they are adorable.

5. When I was 17 I had long hair. When I was doing Inter Rail, a hairy middle eastern gentleman gave me a full on snog (with tongues) when the lights went off in a railway tunnel. mmmm
