What's your nickname? The Greek!
Who was your first teenage crush and why? A girl I spotted on the school bus when I was 17 years old. It must have been the right chemistry... we're still together 40 years later.

What was your favourite book? Lutece - 'A day in the Life of America's Greatest Restaurant'.
What's your favourite movie and why? My wife and I are huge movie goers and so it is extremely difficult to choose one, but if I'm forced to, it's The Godfather 1 and 2.

If you could pick a celebrity to join your staff, who would it be and why? Michael Hammer - the 'Guru' on process implementation and execution.

What's your favourite junk food? Doner kebab.
What luxury would you have on your desert island? It would have to be my favourite surfboard.
What's your biggest regret? Following on from the Peruvian World Surfing Titles in 1965, I never continued on to Hawaii.
