I'm liking the look of that very much indeed. We've been approached by a television programme with a view to linking up with them for a question and answer session to help us with our topic work and they'd like to do it as a Skype video linkup.

Responsible Citizens: December 2007
http://responsible-citizens.blogspot.com/2007_12_01_archive.html
