I claim to be one of the few members of the food industry ever to have appeared on stage with the Royal Opera, Covent Garden. Whilst I was an undergraduate, the Royal Opera arrived in Oxford with a production of AIDA to be performed at the New Theatre. There was a ‘flu epidemic, and many of their 'extras' were unwell. They advertised for tall young men to fill some of the roles, and so I appeared in the first half as 14th Soldier. So impressive was my performance that in the second half I was promoted to the key role of 3rd Torchbearer. I was paid fifteen shillings (75p), but never invited back!

Many years ago I dressed as a washerwoman for a fancy dress party, wearing a small skirt and fishnet tights. While driving the police pulled me and two other cars over. The other two drivers quickly got out of their cars, while I had to put on the high heel shoes I’d borrowed and totter towards them. They couldn't believe the vision of loveliness heading their way! The other two drivers were booked for speeding whereas the policeman pinched me on the bum and said "Don’t do it again, darlin'" and burst out in fits of laughter and sent me on my way. I’m now rather more selective when choosing fancy dress outfits
