When people hear about my typing record, they have a lot of questions – so I thought I’d kick off the new blog by typing up some answers to the common ones. Yes, typing them up. I wasn't going to write them on the back of a napkin, was I. I'm rubbish at that.

It was part of a competition held by Cadbury in March. As the ‘official snack provider’ to the 2012 Olympic games (yes, really) they are running ‘Spots v Stripes’ – a campaign designed to get people off their arses and highlight the fact that snacks aren’t just for fatties. Wanting to get involved – but being a bit of a fatty myself – I plumped for the online typing challenge, bagging first place after a few attempts, and all without actually getting off my arse.
