mandarin discussion meant our lovely trail couldn't go on air.

So here it is trail fans:

"The ´óÏó´«Ã½ has apologised to the Queen for misrepresenting her. We'll have the full story at 5.

Also: a gloomy report about America's prospects in Iraq brings an optimistic response from President Bush - we'll hear from Washington.

Two 16 year old British girls have been arrested in Ghana, allegedly with three hundred thousands pounds worth of cocaine on them.

Plus the joys of learning mandarin, hanging upside down in Manchester and Hugh Sykes reports from Beirut a year after the war.

Join me if you can at 5.."

    Hello. We did name check it - right at the start of the interview the guest started with the name of the school which was indeed Kingsford.

    Re your discussion on Madarin just broadcast.
    Why was the school in East London where your featured Mandarin teacher works not given a name check.
    I think it may well be Kingsford Community School.
    As my son is learning Mandarin at William Ellis it would be useful to know the name of the school refered to.
    Many thanks. Hope you can get back to me please.

    Bet you knew I was going to write this, which is why the first attempt was refused.
    RESPECT!
