Q&A
What's the banter like in the GB dressing room?
"It's sometimes a bit them and us when we first meet, with the English boys and Scottish boys sticking to their own groups. But once we all get acclimatised we share some superb banter, taking the mickey out of each other all the time."
Dish the dirt - which of your team-mates is the worst dressed?
"It's Scotland's Graeme Paterson, no doubt about it. Last time I saw him he turned up in grey jogging bottoms, a body warmer - and Ugg boots! Nothing matched and we all absolutely hammered him."
