Some interesting facts about Fletch:

Andy towers over the rest of the group by a head and shoulders, and is sometimes seen bending his knees ''so he can look little and cuddly, like me,'' according to Dave. Born on 8 July 1961, his first participation in music came when he sang ''Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep'' in the bath and his first record purchase was ''Back Home'' by the 1970 England Cup Squad. Not a promising beginning, but things improved when he latched onto T-Rex’s ''Bolan Boogie'', and the turning point came with ''Heroes'' by Bowie.

He was educated, like Martin, at Nicholas Comprehensive and he takes care of the bass synthesiser parts for Depeche. He’s indisputably the most impatient, almost neurotic, of the three original members and has been variously described as ''a bit tactless'', ''clumsy at times'' and ''argumentative''. He’s reasonable enough to accept these criticisms graciously, and feels that his worst characteristic is biting his fingernails – the mark of a true neurotic.

He has two sisters, one brother, likes video games, dislikes packing and unpacking and his favourite human being is King Arthur, legendary leader of the Knights Of The Round Table.
