No contact as yet..... I'm beginning to wonder if they will simply turn up tomorrow....

Sally applied for a seat at the next Question Time which is in Skipton this week. She has not had any notification of success though yet.

I hope Sally gets to hear from them....
BBC Breakfast TV have been in touch. Interview is on for tomorrow morning. I shall put a clean shirt on....

The auto electrician phoned just now. The ECU on the car has moisture in it which is causing a short. They are going to dry it out, a spray of moisture repellent and it'll be reliable enough to get it to webuyanycar. I can then 'draw a line under it' and get something else.
There are signs the ECU casing has been opened previously so it could be the seal has failed.

That's good news Kev. Good riddance!

Are you being recorded Stanley or is it a 'live' interview?

Asfar as I know it's being recorded for TX on BBC Breakfast TV. Wendy.... I think the lady is called Jayne Barrett.

Bacup Primary School Cannot Afford the Free Breakfast . The 70 place school is on the list to receive funding which is a max of 78p per child. I dont think you can get a McD's for that.
Apparently the school has a one hour (paid for) pre school start club = so parents can drop children off early

I shall put a clean shirt on before Jayne and Richard arrive.....

Anne Trenneman in The Times recommended this online dictionary compiled by Jane Hewitt as a treasure trove of old and unusual occupations from: Abactor: 19th century US legal term for a cattle rustler to Wyrth: a common Labourer.

The car has gone, just need to buy another one now.

Jayne Barrett and her cameraman have been and they seemed very happy. She is going to let me know when it will be transmitted but I think she is pleased.....

Excellent, can I have your autograph?

It'll be expensive..... But go on, you can have one at mate's rates....

Wonderful Stanley, looking forward to seeing you on tv!

Jayne says she has changed the context of the report, it's no longer solely a puff for the exhibition but about Daniel and me. She offered to take me to London but I told her better not, I'm not in that good condition. Daniel says she has mailed him to tell him this and says she has fallen in love with me.... So there.....

Go for it Stanley!

Do we have to doff our caps and call you sir now? Well done Stanley, really looking forward to seeing this.

It all sounds quite exciting Stanley, well done.
Will a copy be put on OG?

Thanks to all of you, it was exciting but tiring they spent four hours filming and recording. Jayne says it is going to be a good long clip. She also said she'd send me an image file that can be mailed so I will send anyone a file that misses the TX. Cathy, send me your current email address and I'll see you get one if and when it arrives.
Jayne says that TX is tomorrow on BBC1 and I think it's the breakfast programme. If I get any better information I'll post it.
Very tiring this stardom.... I shall have an easy day today.

I admit having to Google it, TX is an abbreviation of transmission.

Common usage amongst TV people like me.....

Jayne did a pic of me for her own archive as they were leaving.. Here it is

TX is shorthand equivalent in Morse Code as is RX for Receive. Q codes, explained elsewhere on the site are another truncated code set used for commonly used expressions. abbreviations are everywhere, the default alert sound on mobile phones for received text messages is, dit,dit,dit,dah,dah,dit,dit,dit in Morse, SMS as an acronym for Short Messaging Service.
