No I never wear trousers either. Fizzy drinks! I couldn't be bothered. I bought myself an juice extractor once. It took so long to squeeze oranges for breakfast, shh, I threw it in the bin!

Walking salt and pepper pots? No thanks, doesn't really float my boat

Re: What is the strangest gift you have ever received?

My boss bought me a dog, does that count?

I'd recently lost the previous dog and was......shall we say.... upset

My boss knew how much he meant to me and she phoned me and said that when I was ready for another dog she wanted to buy it for me because she felt it was a way for her to show her appreciation of all I did for her and her family.

She gave me an upper limit of £2000

It only cost her £300 in the end though.
