1. Well the things I don’t really look at usually are the financial pages, sports pages, things like editorials, because they tend to be very long and boring, unless it’s a topic that I’m really, really interested in. The things that I do actually read a lot of are things like the arts pages, and reviews of new films, new books, and that’s why I like reading on a Sunday, because the papers that you get on a Sunday are usually full of the reviews of the week, and I find that quite interesting, but things like the financial pages just bore me, I just don’t understand them and I’m not interested, and sport, I’m just not interested, so I just don’t bother.

2. We turn it on at 5.45 in the morning, and stay in bed and drink our tea and listen to the news then more news and more news, and, basically, we listen to it until we leave the house and that’s a good hour and forty-five minutes later. When I come home at night, I turn on the radio, I sort of one of the first things I do is turn on the radio, I find it so relaxing to have that noise in the background, and then I hear the news at the end of the day, so I don’t miss out on what’s happened all day long. I turn it off by about ten past seven, because I’m not interested in the programs after that, but I love having it on when I’m working, doing either schoolwork or homework in the house, I like listening to music, just to have it on.

3. Yeah the best stuff is on the cable and satellite, which I don’t have, so I’ve got to go to the pub to watch it, which is all right, I don’t mind, that’s a good excuse. But on what I’ve got at home it’s just division two, division three, stuff like that, games which aren’t very interesting, and then sports which only people who are not really interested in sport like watching – like cricket and darts and bowls and things like that. So I just go out on Wednesdays and Saturdays and Sundays, and watch it down the pub.

4. Sometimes I think it’s almost impossible to turn on the television without seeing violence, and I never thought I’d feel like that, but maybe it’s just because now I’ve got a little child I feel like that, but I turn it on and adverts seem to be quite violent, and there is cartoons, and it seems to be from seven o’clock in the morning until you turn the TV off at night on one of the five channels, you’re bound to find something which shows people being aggressive towards each other. I think, it’s something I’ve become more aware of since I’ve had a child of my own, but it’s not the kind of thing I’d write to the paper about, but it bothers me quietly, I suppose.

5. Well the ones I really, really hate are for perfume, above all others I absolutely detest them, usually around Christmas time, you’re completely bombarded by these things for perfume, and they usually have women in the most ludicrous clothes, doing something really stupid – like, I don’t know, wearing an evening dress and stepping out of a shell. They’re just absolutely dreadful, they’re absolutely dreadful - they’re supposed to be really, really sophisticated, and I don’t know, the women who are on them are supposed to be really beautiful, but they just look absolutely ridiculous and I loathe them!
