Caroline Alexander, from Dundee, has been a gaming fanatic since she was six
A 50-year-old woman has confessed to taking days off work to spend time gaming. Self-confessed nerd Caroline Alexander, 50, takes around seven days of annual leave each year to play on her Xbox Series X when big games are released.
Caroline, social researcher, from Dundee, said: "I've always been a nerd and I love it. I tell my co-workers about my staycation of gaming. I don't use my annual leave for anything else important. It's definitely worth the days off." After attempting to date men who didn't share her passion for gaming, the researcher eventually included her gaming interest in her Okay Cupid bio. Caroline and Phil matched in October 2016, and began chatting online.
After teaching her new partner the ropes, the lovebirds continued to game together after their marriage in December 2020 at the Aylesbury Registry Office, Buckinghamshire.
