Quickfire Q&A
Full name: Andrew David Jones, BA(Hons), RSA, MMInstV (deceased)
Birthday: 24th November
Starsign: Gormless
Nickname at school: Zone (no, I've got no idea either!)
Tell us something we didn't know about you: My left ear is slightly pointed at the top, like Spock from Star Trek
Where did you go to school and were you naughty? Maiden Erlegh School in Earley. I wasn't naughty as such, but very gobby!
First job - and would you do it again? Like most people I did lots of part time bits to build up the pennies. I worked at the Inland Revenue in Reading and honestly spent most of my time lost in a massive filing room. I needed a sat-nav just to find the exit!
While the music's playing, what do you do? The Macarena.
What do you get up to outside of work? I run a film company and we produce all sorts of different promotional films for companies as well as documentaries, etc. I've been in a few competitions and I've even won one or two!
Do you have any embarrassing albums in your collection at home? Even worse, I've got old recordings for my first shows on student radio on CD (hey, we all gotta start somewhere!) Truly the worst example of radio in the history of broadcasting.
Favourite place to eat? Old Orleans, The Oracle
Favourite pub? The Culpeper Mill, Lower Earley (now a Brewers Fayre)
Reading's best-kept secret? The fact that Reading 107's Louise Lewis is only 3 foot tall... you wouldn't know to hear her when she does the news, but it's true!
