Take a Break
GREG HEDGES is the handler of the Staffordshire Regiment’s dog mascot, Watchman VI
Favourite film or TV series? Zulu – maybe because I wear red all the time!
Favourite takeaway? Definitely a Chinese–shredded beef and egg fried rice for me. Tell us one thing no one knows about you? I polish the soles of my parade boots – so I am actually polished from head to toe!
What’s your ultimate ambition in life? To meet the Queen with a Watchman while I am still the handler.
Pet hates? Poor manners. What’s your favourite song? Paint It Black by the Rolling Stones.
Marmite? Love it or hate it? Love it!
What’s your worst habit? Leaving doors open. It’s one I have only noticed recently as Watchman VI keeps going where he shouldn’t be – Watchman V was much more well behaved so I never noticed. What was your first car? A 1300 Mini injection.
If you could make a law, what would it be? I would bring back capital punishment.
If you could go anywhere in the world where would it be? I would go back in time to the Roman invasion with a machine gun. I’d love to see what life would be like if they never invaded us.
Who would you invite to a dinner party - dead or alive? A famous person would be Vercingetorix, who was the leader against Rome, while a non-famous person I would have would be my grandfather.
What would you do if you won the lottery? I would buy a large forested piece of land and build my own home.
