Hi guys. Now I've got a stable Internet connection I'll explain what happened. On the ferry across, I happened upon one of the first Brit accents on the whole trip and they happened to be part of the (ITV) 'meja' circus. They asked me what I was doing and I explained I was searching out the places where my Grandad served during the 1915 campaign. I mentioned that I had found some original trenches located off the 'beaten track' during my travels and I was going to do some more searching. They said ' That sounds great, can we come along?', to which I said 'Of course'. I guided them to the appropriate area and they were mightily impressed that they were seeing something they hadn't expected to see. The next thing, they gave me a radio mike and started asking unexpected, unrehearsed, 'fast ball' questions. Wtf, I thought. At the end they mentioned that if Kate 'dropped the sprog' in the next few days it would be, most probably, archive footage so, hand on heart, I never expected it to be shown. Then, apparently, within 4 hours of filming it had been cropped, edited (I assume it has, as I'll never watch it) and transmitted, which was a complete f*cking bombshell to which I only became aware of thanks to this August forum. Nothing escapes the attention of SportsMaserati which is, occasionally, a blessing. However, on this ocassion, not so much. Otherwise, so far, a good trip apart from those aforementioned f*cking Aussie ba5tard wankers.
