10 Things About Rachel Smith

Who would you put into Room 101?
People who don't indicate on roundabouts and the greengrocers' apostrophe, obviously.

What's your favourite book?

Bram Stoker's Dracula, it has a wonderful sense of impending doom. My dad used to say it was like supporting Everton.

Who would be your ideal dinner guest?
Long dead grandparents would be good, I assume.

Describe yourself in 5 words:
Working mum, loves both jobs.

Which business figure do you admire the most?
I'd like to have a chat with Terry Leahy about how he built Tesco to take over the world (and how Paver Smith could help manage its reputation in the process)

Favourite Sunday roast?
I rarely cook anything traditional so when I do it's a real treat. I have no preferences, I love all of them.

Favourite headline:
The Sun's SLING YOUR HOOK message to Abu Hamza. Totally un-PC but funny nonetheless.

Incidentally my favourite ad campaign headline was for a camping retailer - THIS IS THE WINTER OF OUR DISCOUNT TENTS. Genius.

What album/song are you currently listening to? MGMT. I'm a late adopter so don't own an iPod. I've also got my daughter's nursery rhyme CD stuck in the car so it's silence all the way from Southport.

What's your comedy phobia?
Slugs. I just can't stand slugs.

Favourite cheese?
Halloumi (only Jane and H know why).
