Smile for the camera - Alex Griffin
I enjoy football, listening to music, watching films and playing football management video games. I read a little bit of everything. I'm a voracious reader and a lover of all types of music except jazz. It’s so urban and I hate cities. The glass! The concrete!! The people!!!
My childhood ambition was to play for Worcester City Football Club or to drive a tank. My first job – and still the best - was stacking fruit and veg in a supermarket.
I love meeting new people, reading, ballroom dancing and taking advantage of what life has to offer. I believe you can never know too much about anything.
My family is my inspiration. Their encouragement and positive thinking makes anything possible.
