I was born and raised in East Durham in a cube-shaped house near the A19. Initially wanting to be a policeman in the United States, because they carry guns and apparently get involved in cool car chases etc.  My career preferences as I  grew older spanned from wanting to be a goalie, to an architect, to a novelist, to a professional musician, although my first job turned out to be a stuffing crisps into boxes in a factory.  After leaving the North-East for some years to live, study and ultimately work as a radio presenter in Yorkshire, I  returned to blighty and eventually got a job plying my trade at Sun FM.  The rest is history, although I hope it will be a long time before my so-called career is…
