My hobbies include playing and watching soccer, golf, walking, singing and listening to music.
I have supported Aston Villa since I was a boy. Soccer is about romance and finance. Villa has a long and proud history, but it's a sleeping giant because of its present lack of vision. The club's inability to invest in world class players, means it will continue to fail to win trophies.
My favourite Books include the Bible and Pickwick Papers by Charles Dickens.
One of my favourite verses from the Bible is from Proverbs 16 v 9: "The plans of a man are made in his mind, but the Lord directs his steps."
My favourite musicians include Nat King Cole, Burt Bacarach and Frank Sinatra. I take singing lessons to improve my technique and learn some new ballads. I sing with a group called Stillano.
My favourite films include Its A Wonderfull Life and Spartacus and favourite actors are Sidney Poitier and Rod Steiger.
My most admired statesmen are Martin Luther King, Abraham Lincoln and George Washington.
My most favourite sportsman is Mohammed Ali.
My favourite cities to visit are New York, Moscow and Kingston Jamica.
My worst experience was going ocean fishing in the Atlantic after a full breakfast.
You can learn more about how John become a member of the House of Lords in this article from Ebony.
"It is easier to build a strong child, than repair a broken man." Lord Taylor's mother, Enid, had a firm belief in this principle. Her strong Christian faith was a great example to John. Sadly she passed away at Christmas 2001, after a long illness. She will be missed by all her family and friends.
