Swadders:  What's your earliest memory Amanda ?

Amanda Stock: Being Bridesmaid at my uncle's wedding, aged 4 :-)

Swadders: How cute. What else do you remember about that day ?

AS: That my nose was running when the photos were being taken and I was too shy to ask for a hankie. One pic I am "mid-sniff".

Swadders: Oh bless you. Did you receive a present for doing a good job ? I received a Noddy car at the age of 3 for being a page boy.

AS: I can't remember. I must've done but my memory is awful. Arw bless, do you still have it ?

Swadders: No unfortunately I don't and I feel quite sad about that. Was you a popular child or quite solitary ? 

AS: I was somewhere in the middle..as a young child I was quite shy but as a teen I hang round with a group of girlfriend.

Swadders: We have a lot in common. Did you have posters on your bedroom wall ?

AS: Oh yes. Adam Ant and Simon Le Bon. I had painful crushes on both. You ? 

Swadders: Erm ... Queen Victoria. Painful crushes you say ? What do you think of them both today ?

AS: Middle aged, I still have a soft spot for Simon.

Swadders: Adam wears a scarf on his head and has gone a bit tattoo crazy. Do you like a man with tattoos ?

AS: I don't mind the odd one or two but I'm not a big fan of those "sleeve" things.

Swadders: Me neither. Awful business or anything on the neck. I'm tattooless but have toyed with the idea of Steamboat Willy on my chest.

AS: Ha Ha , Am I still being interviewed or did that end ages ago ?

Swadders: I'm not sure. I'm new to this. What question would you most like me to ask you ?

   

AS:  I'll leave that with you, one more then I must turn the bed down for the night.

Swadders: Ok well its been fun. Last question then - What's your dream holiday destination excluding Swaddlington Manor ?

AS: Somewhere where the sea is so blue, The Seychelles or Maldives. Or Southend. Its been fun. Night Donald. 

Swadders:  Got to be Southend. Thanks Amanda.It's been a hoot. Goodnight .
