“Shall we just leave it to everyone else? Stick our heads in the sand and hope for the best? Criticize everyone but do nothing? Only by getting involved will we be able to change things”. You stood for election this year in San Antonio this year…what are some of the important things that need changing?

Mainly the perception of San Antonio – the only ones that don’t realise its beauty are the local population, but only by improving our standards can we encourage a more affluent tourism but also still leave room for entry level youngsters who go on to return every year. Ex-pats need to get involved as their voice is important

Your favourite record you put on in the morning to start the day with a smile…

Alive And Kicking by Simple Minds – takes me right back to ’85…

Breakfast would be taken at where…and would be the perfect plate?

Crunchy muesli with mixed nuts, prunes, honey and ‘Can Caus’ goats yoghurt – taken anywhere with a sea view

Best tapas on the island…

Any Spanish bar full of life and atmosphere will serve delicious home made tapas at reasonable prices. You don’t have to be royalty to live like a king in Ibiza

The perfect 24 hours in Ibiza would be…

Aforementioned breakfast and a pot of strong Yorkshire Tea on my terrace followed by boating/lunch at Cala Bassa, sunset moored up outside Cafe Mambo/Cafe del Mar with drinks bought to the boat and served personally by ‘mojito man’. G&T’s at the Yacht Club then late dinner at Villa Mercedes opposite the marina. Back home in bed by 2am. Lovely…

A meal on a budget…

Menu del dia at Bar Benitez next to my office in Ses Variades, San Antonio. 3 courses – potaje (local broth with meat and potatoes), meat/fish main course and greixonera (Ibiza’s answer to bread & butter pudding), washed down with local wine. All for the princely sum of €8.50

A meal on no budget…

A lobster lunch at Juan & Andrea in Formentera. Eye watering prices but usually an a-lister or 2 at the next table. It tastes even better if someone else has invited you

Thoughts on the world’s number one chef Ferran Adrià arriving with Cirque du Soleil into Ibiza?

An interesting addition to Ibiza gastronomy. I’m sure the millionaires will enjoy it

And Mercadona opening up in San An? I hear you were first through the doors!

Haha, yes I was one of the first to have a look. An excellent addition to San Antonio. I understand the impact on smaller local businesses, however I’m in favour of anything that drives choice up and prices down. For too long we have been paying over the odds just ‘because we live in Ibiza’

Absolutely, Ibiza has a long history of natural foods and healthy living, long may it continue
