In His Own Words
About him
Likes: weekends away, city breaks, dining out, walks on the beach or in the fells ending up in a pub with a big fire (Old Dungeon Ghyll Pub - other hostelries are available), Manchester (so much to answer for), independent cinema, art galleries, people watching in cafes, tea, coffee, cake (you can have your cake and eat it), Inspiral Carpets, The Fall, Stones, Beatles, Springsteen, The Alarm, The Smiths, Libertines, Miles Davis etc, etc. architecture, good conversation, old movies, small intimate gigs (I usually find the tallest person in the room and stand behind him as it saves him looking for me in the dark), animals (preferably still alive unlike Chas Chandler), the outdoors, Le Tour, book shops, eclectic taste in music, National Trust properties, vinyl records (ask your parents), Cornwall, Lake District, Scotland, Derbyshire, Yorkshire Dales, Barcelona, Snowdonia, old movies - To Catch A Thief, North By Northwest, Rear Window, Charade, The Thomas Crown Affair (McQueen or Brosnan discuss?), The Talented Mr Ripley, The Apartment, The Big Sleep, Maltese Falcon, A Matter of life and Death...I could go on...and on...and on.
Note to self: I need to update my photo...I've aged.

What His Friends Say
Jan said...
Never mind all the razzle dazzle and six packs ladies, if you are looking a for a genuine, caring, loyal and funny guy then look no further. John has been friends with my hubby, Dave, for many years and it was a real pleasure to get to know him. He was best man at our wedding and he brought the house down with the funniest and cleverest speech I have heard (involving a pair of rubber gloves and the biggest bar of chocolate I have ever seen). Having said that, some of his jokes have been carbon dated as pre-Monkhouse!
His attention to getting things right for those he cares about is second to none. He is a romantic soul with a love for being out in the hills and watching old films. He is also our gig buddy if Springsteen is in town. Happy to eat out, enjoy home cooking or grab a Chinese he is happy and willing to try new flavours - including my charcoaled bacon after a night out!!
John is a time-served skilled joiner - so he is good with his hands! A smart cookie, John then went on to do his degree and is now a Chartered Surveyor. A professional guy of real integrity, John is a complete softie when the tie comes off. I see John with someone gentle and loving with a positive outlook. Let him sweep you off your feet with those smiling eyes of his.
John won't be snowboarding or bungee jumping, but he will take you to the top of a mountain (or a big hill ;-)) for a picnic with a view. He will always remember your important dates because they matter to him too.
John is always putting a smile on the face of those around him so it would be great to see him with someone who put a great big smile on his face too.
I know John has so much love to give to the right person, he just needs to find you to make his and your life complete.
