Meet the team – Everyone’s favourite ‘monster’ – Cookie.

‘Getting to know you, getting to know all about you’…… or so the song goes.

People often ask us… ‘What’s so-and-so really like ? We speak with them on the phone all the time but we’ve never met them’.

As a result, we felt it was time to publish a quick, informal question and answer session with all of our team individually, just as a bit of fun mostly but you never know, it might spark a conversation between others over mutual tastes.

This month’s victim (sorry, subject) is the staggeringly individual Cookie (yes, that is Cookie’s real name, ask her about the story one day).

So Cookie, what’s your best trait ?

Hopefully I have more than one!  Friendly, resourceful, caring and a good listener spring to mind.

What’s your most annoying habit ?

I’m not very patient with liars ! Always tell the truth no matter how bad it is.

What hobbies do you have ?

Playing Chess – Have a game every week, online with a pal in New Zealand.

Zumba – Love it so much became a Zumba Gold Instructor which is an absolute joy.

Reading, walking, yoga, hula hooping (yep, you read that right…) and going to live music gigs.

What three things would you take with you on a desert island ?

My three favourite M’s : My friends and family (one of them will bring a chess set !), Marmite and some music.

What’s your favourite ‘happy’ movie ?

High Society – Back from a time when movie stars were icons and not just famous !

What’s your favourite ‘sad’ movie ?

The Elephant Man – “My Name is John Merrick” Such a sad and heart breaking real life story.

Which two people (dead or alive) would you share a meal with ?

George Michael and Frank Sinatra – What a chat that would be, I’d be happy to just sit and listen !

Tell us a joke ?

How many dance teachers does it take to change a light bulb?

Five! Six! Seven! Eight!
