We ask a different figure from the local community to choose 10 questions to answer from a list of 50. This time: manager of Christopher Place Shopping Centre Catherine Morris.
CD, vinyl, download or streaming? Streaming, however one of my biggest regrets is ditching the vinyls and record player when clearing out the loft. At the time it seemed like clutter, little did I know.
What TV did you watch as a child? Little House on Prairie, and guess what, I’m watching the reruns now, bringing back my childhood. Warm-hearted story lines, me ending in tears after watching every episode.
What object would you save first if your house was on fire? My make up bag. Without my make- up, I simply can’t function.
Were you well behaved at school? No, not at all. I was labelled the class clown and joker! I treated school like a social gathering, hence had to retake all my exams, to my parents’ great disappointment. Hey, I did alright in the end.
Have you ever asked for an autograph? Oh yes, straight in with Donny Osmond (showing my age, but no 1 fan) and Brad Pitt, whilst he was filming in Troy. Got both and very proud.
Have you ever had a nickname? Captain Peak (related to a hair style, don’t ask)!!! Absolutely shocking, can’t believe I am admitting to this. It was a school nickname which didn’t bother me, as said with good humour and very funny at the time.
Which three people, living or dead, would be your ideal dinner party guests?
Dwane Johnson, fabulous to look at, Maggie Smith for her wit and perfect diction, Dawn French for pure laughter.
Where would be your preferred place locally to get married? The top of the Clock Tower, where I was recently proposed to. It was a complete surprise – flowers, Champagne and music waiting for me at the top after climbing the 93 steps. Down on one knee my fiancé proposed. I said yes!!!
How many pairs of shoes do you own? 56. Very precise I know but I’ve recently made a list of where they are located in the house, wardrobe, loft, etc but I always seem to stick to the same ones, the comfortable ones!! I can only look at the heels now, with fond memories.
How long would you survive a zombie apocalypse? Forever, as most of the time I feel like a zombie and would fit in well. I can drip around all day, look frantic, like the rest of them.
