About this Member

I have been on Dooyoo for 8 years but my favourite category has generally been travel, although I was once quite active in the book department, when I had more free time to actually read any.... I am a Regional Revenue Manager for a Golf and Spa Hotel in the East Midlands, and another one near York, so I do have a passion for hotel reviews in particular. I have holidayed all over the UK/Ireland and that has tended to be one of my favourite categories as well. I lived in Scotland for around 13 years, although for two of those I got the opportunity to do an all expenses business trip to Australia and I am passionate about that region too.

I bought a new car late last year and I have done 20000 miles, so now is the time to review it! No pressure!

The categories I generally read the most are Motors (of course!) UK/Ireland, Internet, Selective Speakers Corner and Travel. I used to read more widely but time is pressing at the moment :(

I keep meaning to learn this great game of Golf, but never seem to have the time after work....when it's too dark for golf. I enjoy camping, and have already got a few short breaks under my belt during 2009.
