It was compulsory to wear shorts then, so I just had to make the best of it. You would have thought this would put me off, but we didn't have central heating back then, so I probably just became accustomed to being a bit cold. Now I don't feel it at all.
Today, I'm in shorts most of the time. When you work for yourself you can wear what you want. My work is quite physical we have a factory in Greenwich full of old machines and we make all sorts: chandeliers for cruise ships, window displays for John Lewis, architectural bits for Antony Gormley. We work with saw blades, so I have to wear sensible shoes, but the worst injury I've sustained is from a broken coffee cup.
