GARY HURST

Gary likes to think of himself as twenty five and thin, whereas in reality he will never see fifty, or his shoes, again. Gary is adamant that he started the 'dress down Friday' tradition and is currently campaigning to have this spread to the rest of the working week.

As the father of three children over the age of eighteen and a lifelong West Ham supporter, Gary is no stranger to pain. In his spare time Gary likes to imagine what life would have been like if elastic had never been invented.

MARK SHAW

Once Mark had recovered from the disappointment that he wasn't going to grow up to be Luke Skywalker, he turned his energies towards being in a band on the telly instead. He's often to be heard reminiscing fondly about loading the gear and travelling the country in the back of the van; although he may be confusing this with his Saturday job at Pickfords.

Now a family man, the closest Mark gets to anything rock'n'roll is when he carelessly puts his CDs back on the shelf, out of alphabetical order.
