“I love to walk three to four miles a day if I can.”

“I started in my pro debut in a leisure centre in front of a couple of hundred people and I just worked hard for the last eight or nine years of my professional career.”

“We believe it is important to have an organisational link in London, still the world's premier maritime centre.”

“Being part of a community with a church at its centre and singin' hymns is a great thing to do.”
