5. What is the best and worst thing about your job?
No two days are the same, and one of the best things about my job has to be meeting new people. However, although it seems very glamorous – with frequent travelling and many social events, some people do not realise how lonely it can be.
Spending time alone in hotels away from the family is probably the worst thing about my job.

Everton and Manchester United Football Clubs

Anything by Terry Pratchett!
