Only if it is done responsibly.
Have you ever seen a ghost? Not when sober!
What are you nostalgic for? Sydney. I'm from Australia.
Do you often flirt with death?
I'm doing skydiving next month and I've done bungee jumps. I love adrenaline.
What really frightens you? Snakes. I can't stand them and can't even watch them on television.
Farmers victims or villains? Definitely victims.
Is Sainsbury's village shop initiative a good thing?
Yes. We have things like that in Australia and it keeps the corner shops honest.
Do you think internet shopping will be a hit or a miss? It's definitely the way forward. But traditional retailers will still have a vital role to play.

What was your dream profession as a child?
Marine biologist. I spent a lot of my childhood at the beach and in the sea.

What is the most prized possession you cannot leave home without?
I never leave without my business cards. You never know when an opportunity will arise. But they are not my most prized possession. I don't have one.
Will you be doing a spin on the London Eye?
Yes when it is safe!
The success of which product you sell do you find inexplicable?
Everything at Parisa Café Bar is of the highest standard so nothing we sell is inexplicable.
Have you ever met anyone famous?
I met Billy Connolly outside the Sydney Opera House. We've also had a lot of the Yorkshire cricketers in here, such as Greg Blewett and Darren Gough. I've also met Peter Stringfellow, but I'm not sure if that's a claim to fame.
