People

Adam has spent 17 years in print and has been with his partner Karen for a year longer than that, and they have three boys.

He’s a ‘mad’ Nottingham Forest fan and is therefore facing yet another season of Championship football. Having seen his answer to ‘Who or what makes you laugh?’ we’re thinking of asking his colleague Jonathan to do a follow-up Q&A.

I’ve got a few to be honest: Ad, Killer, Mini-me, Short A**e, Small Boy, ‘Drarf’ (yes that is spelt right, the bloke who calls me this just can’t say it properly) – take your pick

Jonathan Mitchell – finishing and transport manager at Print 4. He is just so funny to look at. His eyebrows have a mind of their own, and he likes to ‘gurn’ in production meetings. He loves the banter though - some of the stick he takes is off the scale…I’m sure the bloke has got Teflon shoulders
