Charlie Lodge is from Wolverhampton. He has had a lot of changes in his life so is doing something he wouldn't normally do. He is going to write on a flipboard and play slide guitar. His guitars have names. He is doing the project to raise some disability issues and celebrate the UK's diversity. He's a transgender person and has gone from male to female. He has spent a lot of time having medical appointments in London and is glad they are over. He approves of a laissez-faire attitude to other people's actions. He describes himself as blond and cranky. Friends and family are most important. He would have liked to have a drink and cigarette before going on the plinth.
