Keith Taylor is from South Cambridgeshire but is originally from the North East of England. He applied because he hasn't done it before. He is going to read the paper and eat some smoked salmon with brown bread and drink a glass of claret. He is trying not to be middle aged and is enjoying retirement. He enjoys travel but has four dogs and doesn't like flying. He doesn't expect anything except a few interested tourists. He expects that the impact of his time on the plinth will be retrospectively understood. He doesn't expect his time on the plinth to impact him. The health of friends and family are most important to him. His parents were in the foreign service so he went to boarding school. He worked for a commercial enterprise before retiring.
