MacAulay and Co
Our cause has now been broadcast across Scotland.
At about 9:45 this morning I spent five minutes talking to Fred MacAulay and his co-presenter on BBC Radio Scotland. Sadly I never found out who the co-presenter was, but she seemed very nice.
It was an unusual kind of conversation, really - not so much because it was being broadcast live to literally hundreds of people, but more because they kept making bow and arrow sound effects at me. I suppose it's quite gratifying that somebody went to the effort of finding a sound effect especially for our segment. They seemed quite interested in the whole thing, and quite entertained, although the conversation did end up with Mr. MacAulay describing his throwing crisp packets full of water at York Ghost Trail guides. And that was without his even knowing that I am one of such guides.
All in all, quite fun, really. Sadly I never managed to mention the website, so I doubt if we'll get any more competition entrants from it - but it's nice to think that a few Radio Scotland listeners might be supporting us as we march steadfastly across the border.

It appears that for the next seven days you can hear this interview here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/scotland/radioscotland/view/show.shtml?listen_again
I haven't heard it yet beacuse my work computer has no sound :( But I'll look forward to listening to it tonight...
Also I just realised you've got a wonderful new website and you've yet to mention it here! Now I know you've got a lot to organise, but I really think you ought to rectify this deliberate over-sight... :)
