Ever stayed in a holiday camp or had holiday camping experiences before? Describe them, briefly but colourfully.
We’ve been to Centre Parcs - does that count? I used to go camping a lot when I was a kid. Once we saw a hubcap rolling down the road and then realized it was a saucepan lid, as we had left a saucepan on the roof. I went camping with my son Felix and my mate Louis once. Louis had borrowed a tent and when we put it up it was full of fag butts.
If you designed your own holiday camp what 3 attractions/facilities would you prioritize?
1. Good catering.
2. Nice accommodation.
3. Madness playing live.

Mostly Vegetables, Cheese, Houmous, etc. I have two fridges actually, the other one is the “bad” fridge with mostly alcohol Kronenbourg [of course as I got 5 free cases] and Pizzas in the freezer.
Whats your poison?
Tequila and Orange [Suggs strength measures] Kills me every time..

Taking them off

Hatfield Polytechnic on the Two Tone tour. The worst violence I have ever seen at a gig.
Describe your favourite worst nightmare
Being stuck on my way home from London in a snowstorm after a cancelled gig in Sheffield last year with the cabbie playing Heart FM for about 5 hours. I didn't have the "Heart" to tell him to change the radio channel
