Had a good laugh earlier this summer with a journalist from the Guardian.

Oh, and the picture is awfull - I'm about to burst out laughing.......

She seems to have picked up the right attitude quickly.

Has the school been closed then?

Aye mate, she did well.

Yes, I pulled the plug in October, it was time to move on.

interesting article...

How hard are journalists to look after???

 

[timboggle]

thanks John

Not that hard actually, easier than telly Directors, I'll say that mate.

The thing to remember is that if you have a journo wanting to use you and your business for a national newspaper article, could you afford not to do it, you simply couldn't buy that media space.

An article I did with Richard Madden (below) back in 2006 for the Telegraph got dozens of customers through the door mate and was used several times in magazines since.

Ask yourself also, would it show your business in a good or bad light, I have turned down offers from some media projects because at the time I thought it not too wise.

Ask the Journo' what they expect to get as the final product and aim to please mate

some more articles from the past below,



Hazel Davies article 2006, an absolute lady.

Allways a pleasure mate,

Fan-y-Big, Aye mate, the Beacons are a fantastic playground......as you know, they have a reputation of biting back, a lot of people are quick to regard the UKs wild places as tame but they can be far from it

Aye your right there the coldest I've been in a long while was heading up Craig Cwm Llwch from the Tommy Jones memorial to the summit of Corn Du in March 2008 there was a nasty SW wind blowing from the direction of Storey Arms I was frozen.... Definately into the Bothy bag at the summit for a wet and a bit of nutty.... Definately not T shirt weather...

I don't know anything about that but when I was young and foolish (not saying I am not foolish still) I used to know the local woods intimately, I could find my way in total darkness, I just knew where I was because it was so familiar. Fair enough not exactly a forest, but there was fun in it, because I used to play my flute in the woods and because that was so close to the Uni, students and others used to try and find who it was, they never did, when ever any one came close I vanished . Such times, they won't come again.

Why ever not ??, I'd be tempted to try it again if I was you - Excellant post, thanks mate
