Getting to know you more - Simon Adlington ...






What effort do you make in your life to look after your health on a frequent / daily basis?

I have severe arthritis in my knees and upper spine so I am limited to what I can do but when home I try to walk the dog as often as possible.

If money was no object – what would you do with a few million?

Work a little less (not sure I could retire) and play a little more. Spend the winters in a warmer climate and make life easier for family and friends.

What is the very best service you have ever experienced?

A service rep for United in Houston airport spent over an hour trying to find me a hotel to stay in when trapped there over night.

What is the worst service you have ever experienced?

Getting absolutely no help to get a hotel when trapped in Newark airport by bad weather and being stuck in the airport for over 15 hours. ( I guess I spend too much time fying!!!)

If you could have 5 people (dead or alive) over for a dinner party who would you choose?

With all the travelling I do I read a great amount, I would like to have great writers that can transport you to another place or time, My list would include:-
 Conn Iggulden
         Wilbur Smith
     Timothy Zahn
     JK Rowling
        Robert Ludlum

What item on your desk could you not live without?

Nothing

What part of your working day do you love?

Does not happen every day but I like new challenges.

If you could have a one of these super powers what would you choose and why – able to fly, invisibility, X-ray vision, Read peoples minds or super strength?

Fly... I fly a lot in planes but to be able to defy gravity would be a real thrill, but the superpower I would most like would be to teleport from place to place, I could then sleep in my own bed every night.

What was your favourite childhood toy?

Monopoly.

Marmite – Love it or Hate it?


Hate, Hate, Hate (I spend a few weeks working next to the plant that makes it in Derby and the smell when they cook up a new batch is the worst smell ever)
