    Got back today from a 5 day break in Paris and amazingly the only British football shirt or top that i saw all week was this guy who had just bought a daily telegraph at a street kiosk and when he turned round he was wearing a Barnsley FC sweatshirt. Paris Tyke was it you?

    He won't admit to it now as he will be slaughtered on here for buying the Telegraph.

    No, it was not me and nothing to do with buying the Telegraph!

    How long have you lived in Paris mate? And what did you do to get so lucky?

    We've been here 5 years this September Jay.
    I worked for Gaz de France in the UK and was offered a more senior role here in Paris in 2007. No brainer for me but a challenge with 2 boys under 3 years.
    Never thought I would have ended up here when I started at the YEB head office at Scarcroft in 1991 !!
    After YE was taken over by Npower in Apr 2001, I took redundancy. Then 6 of us started our own business with financial support of another EU energy company. GDF then bought us in Nov 2002.
    The business we started in Leeds is still going well today with more than 200 employees, so I feel very proud when I look back to the decision we took 11 years ago. And we had a bit of luck........
