Up early or lie-in? It depends on the kids. Now they’re teenagers, they stay in bed until 3pm. My missus is usually out walking. I used to do a lot of walking, but I can’t now because of me hips.
Are you feeling your age? Mentally, absolutely not. I’m 61. I’ve got one false hip, a chip in my spine and thyroidism, which is great.
Will you retire? Unless I drop dead, I’ll still be doing gigs at 80. But I won’t be moving like Jagger.
Family time? The missus gets me to look at places we can move to when the kids have left school and we can throw them out the house. We’re thinking the border of Greater Manchester and Yorkshire.
Sundays growing up? I hated Sundays, because we had to go to church. We had two churches – St Eddie’s and St Mark’s. St Mark’s had a balcony upstairs and was pure madness. Eddie’s was serious Catholic. Then we’d come home for dinner.
Sunday exercise? I’m out on my bike as much as I can be, in the woods and trails around Salford. I’d be out on my bike now if I wasn’t talking to you.
Sunday housework? I get told to do the dishes. But I don’t do much else. I can’t be doing with vacuuming.
Does Bez come round? He does when we film Gogglebox. Actually he was here yesterday.
Sunday drink? No. We don’t have alcohol in the house. Not even at Christmas. When I go out to work, I’ll still have a drink. I partied from the age of 13 onwards. It didn’t end until 2002, when I hit 40 and I thought it was about time I grew up. I got off the heroin and everything else and haven’t been there for 20 years.
Happy Mondays? It was Sundays that would take it out of me. On a Monday, there would be a knock on the door from the police because of what we’d set fire to on a Sunday.
