I don't think very many people actually buy the local paper any more but with them running the story it should mean that it'll also be carried by the local freebie which gets delivered to every house! The man is toast!

Maybe you should quickly get in touch and explain how you ran into him? From my experience, local papers like any additional 'local' verification of a story they can get. Also, is you paper online? On of our Reading ones has a very high readership via its website and if they DO have a website the readership may be wider than you imagine.

I think the paper already has a good story on him Yola, I only ran into him in a very minor way when he criticised my lead-training of Morgan. I didn't like his assertive manner and when I said I hadn't asked for his help he went off mimicking what I'd said in a smirky, nasty way. Just glad he's been rumbled, he was obviously a lot nastier than I realised at the time.

Pleased to hear it. Sometimes it beggars belief that people are gullible enough but the human race does have a "pack mentality" where you don't like to be the one who steps up and speaks out.

Glad his story will be run for for all to see.
