Each week Bristol Business News gives a prominent member of the city’s business community the last word on its weekly e-bulletin.
This week Gilbert Lemon, partner at the Bristol office of accountancy and investment management group, Smith & Williamson, answers our 10 questions.
What was the LAST: 
Film you watched? Godfather 2 on DVD, for the tenth time at least, the best film ever made.
Book you read? Earth Abides by George R Stewart on audio book. An incredibly insightful post-apocalyptic story published in 1949, way ahead of recent Hollywood efforts.
Music you bought? Rod Stewart’s Greatest Hits – a bargain at £1.99. He wears it well.
Concert you went to? The Who in Cardiff last year. Pete Townshend is now the one with the voice, a great evening.
Sporting event you attended? I visited the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in Stratford last weekend and watched two local amateur cycling clubs at the incredible velodrome, fantastic fun and free entry.
Holiday you went on? I had a late holiday last year with my wife just before Christmas with a week in sunny Florida followed by a few days in New York. There were amazing contrasts in temperature well worth the effort of travelling.
Restaurant you ate in? I am a regular diner at the Arc Café near our office which trains people recovering from addictions. The project is run by the ARA (Addiction Recovery Agency). The trainee chefs are amazing; the fish pie is my favourite.
Thing that annoyed you? The day last week when M5 road works were completed, only to be immediately followed by new ones starting five miles further down the road.
Thing that made you laugh out loud? Laughing at myself failing to master my son’s fixed gear bike outside the velodrome with proper cyclists watching on!
Piece of good advice you were given? An hour of brisk walking is much better for you than an hour of jogging; suits me fine.
