Nominate your eighth wonder of the world.

Oh, Arthur’s seat in Edinburgh. I love that. I love how you get to look at it from all around the city and then when you climb up there, you just get the most fantastic sense of… Well, I’ve always done it when I’m knackered, and I know that when I’ve made it to the top, I can breathe and I can have my snacks and I can look at the view, and then I can go down and find a good pint somewhere. It’s definitely a very successful feeling when you get to the top.

What’s your biggest vacation red flag?

It’s not a [vacation] red flag, it’s more of the people that join you on [vacation] red flag… It’s people that don’t understand sun cream and sand, it really bothers me. And I don’t know why it really bothers me, but it just does. When you put sun cream on, do not sit in the sand and then be surprised that there’s sand stuck to your body. That just really grinds my gears.

Describe a vacation disaster.

Oh, Christ. A [vacation] disaster… What about maybe if your room isn’t ready and you’ve arrived and you’ve got loads of luggage and everybody’s grumpy and hungry and you want to get out to the beach but you can’t and the hotel doesn’t take your bags and you’re like, “Ah, that’s a bit of a disaster.” That has happened to me.
