Breathe Pete, breathe. Talk slowly, don't gabble. Enjoy!

Well done, Pete. Hope it goes alright and be positive about the future and stress how players and publicans are pulling together to combat this blow from Bar Billiards Ltd. I think BB may come out of all this stronger than we were before....
Good coverage in the Oxford Mail last night but I thought the reporter got one or two things wrong and it shifted the accent of the piece - a couple of people in the pub last night said "I see bar billiards is finished then" - we corrected them in no uncertain terms!
Keep it up, Peter! I'm impressed...
cheers
Tony

At 12.30 today, they told us they would be there, at 12.32 Pete received a message on his phone, saying, sorry but we have no reporter to send. :o
>:( >:( >:( >:( >:(
Well at least we tried.
Keith.
P.S Pete is a Happy Bunny as well. :-/

well hope you keep trying, ithink that the national news always scans the local stations for stories so i don't think it'll be long for we get some coverage. :D

Yes i was very disappointed :(
After a near sleepless night i woke up in the morning feeling still very nervous. After a couple of visits to the bathroom off i went to work. I came home at 11.45 showered and shaved and off i went to the Nelson practicing what to say on the way. Well you know what happened next. Arrived back 1.45pm 2 hours money lost and off to work again. All for the sake of trying to save our beloved game. ;)
Hope to rearrange at a later date.
Pete

Sadly this sort of behaviour is typical of the media, Petee.
Now if you'd promised them coverage of some nice juicy scandal they'd have been milling round like vultures ! ;D
