When I fly British Airways, I can't help but read the free Daily Mail, which makes me glad I am leaving the country.

I toyed with the notion of being an actor, and am so glad that this whim did not go any further.

I am away so much, so I rarely see live TV, but I use iPlayer to catch programmes.

I am not as cross about Thatcher now as I was in the '80s. Begrudgingly, I can see that some of her policies helped modernise Britain.

I am just grateful I have a British passport and a country here.

I am a sociologist, God help me.
