Six Seconds of Fame - only Fourteen Minutes Fifty Four Seconds to go!

Our story is sparking interest and famous bikers and taxi drivers are beginning to spread the word, perhaps unintentionally in the case of the bikers.

The Hairy Bikers, one of whom lives at Roa Island have a new show starting at 8.30 on Monday, BBC2, the trailer for their programme is filmed at Roa Island with us in the background, our boat that is - not us standing there waving! (Pictures to follow)

On my journeys to and from work I encounter a variety of A1 (that's the company) taxi drivers.
There's
Bill Clark on the Radio, whose show I have never managed to listen to but he plays me clips from it in his taxi and there's Bob, author of taxi tales, and there's the pink panther car driven by a lovely lady dressed head to toe in pink, with pink seat belt and steering wheel cover and pink panthers on the doors. She shares the cab with her brother and has to take all the pink out when he's driving it. She's about to make the local papers because someone has apparently complained about her taxi! You can read about her on Bob's taxi tales.
