They really must have a sense of humour. I will say no more.5 What do you like most about the Fens?Wide open spaces, peace, quiet and the sunsets.6 Give us at least five pet hates.Drivers using mobile phones; parents not caring enough about their children to make them wear seat belts; people who drop litter; smoking in restaurants; marzipan.7 What sort of car do you drive?Volvo V70 Estate.8 What do you think of people who smoke?Sad that they might run the risk of shortening their lives, but if they must smoke they should keep the smoke to themselves.9 What is your favourite Fenland restaurant/pub?Lamb and Flag, Welney.10 What is the most money you have spent in one day?My last car, my only luxury.
