No we have not. That was a 'chance meeting'. I stepped in to help them out at
the last minute when someone else couldn't appear.
Neither did the discussion have the agreed agenda of 'speed cameras and road
safety'.
I note that you used the opportunity to descend into an unwarranted ad hominem
attack. I expected far more from you than that.

Wrong. You simply looked in the wrong place. Look here:

There's nothing worthy of a press release.

I am already re-broadcasting captured audio from yesterday evening's
discussion. The following links apply:
http://www.safespeed.org.uk/radio.pls (listen now)
http://www.safespeed.org.uk/radio.html (how to listen)
I'm quite happy to leave it 'looping' until something better comes along. If
you want an MP3 (4MBish) please ask.
A 'chance meeting' on an Irish Radio station is not worthy of 'main page'
treatment.

Feel free. But please get your facts right.
