This is funny, I was idly wondering about this the other day. I concluded that Nicky would be Patrick's PR chap, James would be a primary school teacher, and Sean, after spending several successful years in the civil service, had retrained as a plumber and owned a chain of plumber's merchant stores across Wales and the South West of England.

Had this idea for an impressions sketch show a while back that's like those lighthearted or less serious bits on the local news. Paul McCartney as an allotment owner who's grown a vegetable in the shape of Madonna and James runs a newsagents that sold someone a winning lottery ticket.

I also quite like to imagine them all running a record store - High Fidelity style.

But always find it hard to decide which would become annoying enough about musical 'taste' to be the Barry type.

(Roughly based on Nicky managing to hold down a Saturday job whilst at uni for an entire 2 weeks in Dereks Record shop in Swansea)
