Default A Little Story

The other week I was driving to work listening to Radio Lancashire and they played a unmistakable (even for me) clip of a robin singing. Guess who rang in with the correct answer a certain andy b from Preston.

Blow me a couple of days later I heard a trailer for a complete interview with a certain andy b from Preston on ornithology, unfortunately I missed the interview as I was at work however I think we have a member of this forum who hides his light under a bushel

What say ye guilty or not guilty

oh how i chuckled when i read this post.
i plead a resounding 'not guilty'!!. i would certainly love to be classed as an expert on ornithology but as you have read my posts you will agree that this is far from the truth.
there is obviously another andy b, from preston, who rang into our local radio station. (i only usually listen to this station when preston north end are playing).
it was fun being the topic of a bit of forum scandal though.... maybe i should have played along for a while???
anyway topper, for the moment, the last time i looked under my bushell it was very, very dark!!!
