We grew up in Castle Bromwich. Nice close family. I'm eight years older than Ian.
00:05
So I remember the day he was born.
00:06
The Mentos day.
00:07
I used to roll the ball to you so you could get into the football.
00:11
Didn't do much good.
00:12
I know, you're the worst goalkeeper I've ever seen.
00:15
All I remember from you working here was, God, you used to come home and I used to say, "You stink."
00:20
I was shocked when you came here, but you do get used to it. That's how it is.
00:26
It's a dirty job, but someone's got to do it.
00:28
1.7 million customers plus are sending all their waste to us.
00:34
And what comes out is plain recycled water.
00:37
There's a danger that it's not going to go out looking like that.
00:39
Then you take that personally, don't you?
00:41
Yeah. I started in 1981, just before the Villa won the league.
00:46
What 7Trent produce now, it's a lot better quality and it improves every year.
00:52
It's amazing.
