In the spotlight
Published: Thursday, 28 October 2010 04:16

This month we feature Caterham resident, John Orrick who is both Surrey County Councillor and a Parish Councillor for Caterham-on-the- Hill.

Birthplace: Beddington.

Marital Status: Blissful (sometimes).

Children: Kate and Ian and I am very proud of both.

Cars: A Peugeot.

Pets: None at present.

Childhood hero: Billy Wright and Muhammed Ali.

Favourite Food & Drink: Fish and chips; Real ales.

Pastimes: Walking, reading and putting on weight.

Likes: Politeness, kindness, people.

Dislikes: Oafishness, selfishness, poverty.

Favourite books: 'Crime and Punishment', 'The Idiot, I Chose Freedom'.

Favourite holiday destination: The English countryside.

Favourite TV show: History or nature programmes.

Who would you most like to throw a custard pie at? There probably aren't enough custard pies in the world to meet my list.

Favourite song: 'Hey Jude' by the Beatles.

Proudest moment: The birth of my children and generally being a dad.

Where would you most like to live? Can't really answer this with anything but Caterham can I?

Most embarrassing moment: Putting on a highpitched nasal voice in reply to a phone call from a friend who turned out to be a government official. I had to pretend to call Mr Orrick for him, but don't think it fooled him.

Biggest influence on your life: My wife Annie who keeps me grounded (at least that's what she told me to write).

Who would you most like to meet? Sadly most of the people I have admired I will have to wait until the afterlife to meet but would happily join a very long queue to meet Nelson Mandela or Muhammed Ali.

If you won the Lottery jackpot, how would you spend it? I come from a large family so they would be first in line to share it with. I've always wanted a piece of sculpture to show Caterham's history (e.g. a nurse, soldier and bible) to be displayed on the Hill, and it would be good to support seed-funding for local charities. Plus, of course, the round the world cruise.
