This week, with COLIN JENNO, 37, general manager, the Macdonald Dunkenhalgh Hotel, Clayton-le-Moors

MEMORY: When living in Cyprus, waking up and going in search of my father who was outside collecting the post. On seeing him at the gate I then proceeded to walk across burning flagstones, resulting in very sore feet!

HOLIDAY: A family holiday to Snowdonia.

HERO: My mother, for her courage in bringing up a young family alone and under difficult circumstances.

AMBITION: To beat anyone at anything!

CAR: A Ford Fiesta 1.1 Popular, which unfortunately passed away on a motorway trip many years ago.

JOB: A weekend job washing up at a local restaurant. I did progress to starter chef before moving house.

PET: My own pets were two rescued Persian cats from a local sanctuary who had been sorely mistreated by previous owners.

HOME: My own home -- only eight years ago (too much moving around with my job) in Redditch, Worcestershire.

RECORD: Without You by Harry Nilsson.

MANAGEMENT ROLE: Assistant manager at the Pack Horse Hotel in Bolton. Now I have returned to Lancashire!
