Fact title Fact data
Most Likely To Say...
"You want to get yourself one of these..."

He finds life pretty straightforward and doesn’t understand people who don’t. He’s got a big heart and he’ll always try and see things from other people’s point of view. It doesn’t often work, but he’ll give it a go.

Anything abstract he finds dull: art, politics, religion... ‘I can’t see the point of it, you know what I mean? What’s the point of it?’

He's secretary of the Boat Club, does some driving for the local care home occasionally and the odd bit of plumbing for friends.
