Totally agree, the Earl comes across as a very approachable man. Was also great to hear someone give straight clear answers and opinions, no BS, and not scared to honestly say something even when he knows you (or we) might not like hearing it.

Given everything I heard in that interview, I really think Emma Sanderson needs to reconsider what she told the BBC Breakfast program on April 8th, which was: (my bold)

Quote:
We don't believe this is illegal; we have conducted extensive... er... legal, or sought extensive legal advice both internally and externally and prior to conducting this trial... em... you know... mm... ah... yeah, it's not illegal.
Erm... Emma, the Earl of Northesk doesn't agree with you.

Anyway, thanks Alex, thanks Lord Northesk.



OB

btw. It was a bit loud for me, so I ran it through a noise filter in my old copy of Audition (used to use it to clean up old, scratched vinyl for transfer to tape or CD), then dropped the volume a bit. Still got the odd background clatter, but it was 100% listenable.


Edit: Forgot to mention one of my favourite quotes from the Earl, (of which there were many). It's what I think Kent and Phorm should adopt as their new advertising slogan:

Phorm: It's a pretty unsavoury product!!
They could change their logo to a loaf of really green, mouldy bread.
