That Les Logan Moment
In Edinburgh yesterday afternoon I finally came face-to-face with ´óÏó´«Ã½ Radio Scotland groupie Les Logan. He had promised to buy me a coffee but conveniently waited until I walked back from the counter in the Speigeltent cafe before introducing himself. So we discovered we shared an interest in the east end of Glasgow - where Les used to work - and he gave me his frank views on our morning schedule. It got me thinking we should arrange a little get-together with all the regulars who post comments on this blog.
Then it was back into the tent for The Radio Cafe where Janice Forsyth was asking three American guests if the United States should come with a health warning. It was sad to hear how they all felt there was much more anti American feeling in Scotland these days and and that sometimes people would blame them personally for their President's foreign policy.
Light relief later in the afternon as I watched a recording of All The Milkman's Children, written and performed by four brilliant teenagers. There was a great sketch involving a very trendy Dad who tried to muscle in on his son's friendships. Also a funny sequence involving a scout leader talking to a class of Paisley kids and trying not to talk about homosexuality.
You'll hear it on ´óÏó´«Ã½ Radio Scotland during the October school holidays.
