Thought for the Day...

In Promoting Journal Writing in Adult Education (English and Gillen, 2001), David Boud describes one of the purposes of journal writing as "...capturing an experience...making sense of what we know". This word, 'capture' conjured a visual image for me that I reflected on today in my journal.

This is an extract from today's journal entry:

     "The Reflective Practitioner is Like a Butterfly Catcher

It occurred to me that reflective tools are like a net to a butterfly catcher. Our thoughts are like the butterflies in a summer garden; several, beautiful, varied and intricate. 

By 'catching' them, we can inspect each one thoroughly and examine it's qualities. Without the net (our reflective tools), all we see is a multitude of ideas that may be beautiful and inspiring, but we never get to assess each one for it's true worth.

When we 'capture' the butterflies individually, we may find more detail and greater differences than we could possibly having imagined. Some may be perfect & symmetrical, some damaged or flawed, some bold and simple and some more detailed in their design than we realised from afar.

Having inspected each butterfly in a glass jar, we can then release it back into the garden of our mind with a clearer knowledge and sense of it's true worth."

'Playing with Ways to Reflect' (Adesola, 2010)

I just wanted to share this link to a previous blog of Adesola's about ways to play with reflecting.

She gives two ideas of ways to play around with reflecting which I think look fun; I was particularly interested in trying out her idea of using poetry as a reflective tool.

I think Adesola's ideas could be really useful if anyone is feeling like they need to find a 'way in' to reflection. I am interested in finding out whether poetry may produce more 'organic' and honest responses than my traditional journal.

http://adesolaa.blogspot.com/2010/11/playing-with-ways-to-reflect.html

Let me know if anyone decides to use either of these ideas - I'd be really interested to know how you found it...

Approaching the Reflective Journal

My Journal Writing

I began my reflective journal about 10 days ago, and although I have found it difficult to find the time, it has already proved a very useful tool for me. Forcing myself to articulate my reflections in words is great, as it doesn't allow me to 'sweep issues under the carpet', or ignore niggling concerns. I feel it's also a great exercise in learning to express our tacit knowledge - putting our gut instincts and feelings into words.

The journal writing experience so far has also brought time management into the spotlight for me. It's one of the most difficult balances to achieve on this course, and having a written record of how we spend our time allows us to look back and see where we have perhaps been wasting time, and which areas we could do with dedicating a bit more time to. I like these quotes about time management which I found on the website 'Life Optimizer':

Time = life; therefore, waste your time and waste of your life, or master your time and master your life.

Alan Lakein 

It’s not enough to be busy, so are the ants. The question is, what are we busy about?

Henry David Thoreau 


My type of Journal....

I have chosen to keep a traditional written journal for the moment, so that I can keep it with me at all times. I find this the easiest way as I can take advantage of breaks in rehearsal to write rather than having to wait until the end of the day when I am sitting at my computer; this helps me to manage my time better. I have also been using diagrams and sketches, which I find really helpful. I like the way that drawing a spidergram I can allow my thoughts to flow freely and linking ideas together visually really helps me. I also think as a visual learner, I will find it easier this way to look back and pick up on key trains of thought from my journal.

Having toyed with the idea of keeping a recorded journal on a dictaphone, I have decided against it as I don't think it would be particularly helpful for me. As I mentioned in my blog post about learning styles, I don't think I am a natural audio learner. However, I definitely plan to try out the idea of keeping a video journal as Mark Iles has done on his blog. Sometimes talking is easier than writing after a long day, and I also think it will be interesting to see whether reflecting in this way might prove more 'organic'. Perhaps talking on the spot without too much time for consideration provoke more honest reflections?

What is everyone else finding? Anybody keeping a journal in a more non-conventional way?    

Starting out on BAPP

I finally got around to making my You Tube video, 'Starting out on BAPP' and as this part of the course is about new technology skills, I decided to find out how to use the mac programme 'imovie'. I had real fun playing around with some of the features and as I mentioned in my profile, I am a keen photographer so hopefully this will be the first of many opportunities to incorporate photography and video skills into my blog.

I am afraid I didn't follow the task very well as I went way over the 45 second time limit. But...I felt on a roll and I really wanted to follow through the idea that I had in my head and the piece of music that I wanted to work with. So, here it is.....Sonal has also published hers today if you want to check it out. I like the way she has used a voiceover as it gives a real sense of her personality.

Tacit Knowledge

"I shall reconsider human knowledge by starting from the fact that we can know more than we can tell." Michael Polanyi (1966)

This quote from Adesola's reader 'Reflective Practices' really struck me, as I often feel that not everything I experience in my professional practice can be explained in words. I think that actors tend to be either more academic/analytical (good at table work and critically discussing a text) or intuitive (go with the flow in rehearsal and see how it feels), and I have always considered myself to be the latter.

In the rehearsal room, actors use reflection-in-action and will adapt their responses depending on what the other actors are 'giving' them. We can try and look back and verbally reflect on exactly what happened and how that shaped our responses, but it may be impossible to fully describe. A touch or a look between 2 characters can create such mixed and complex human responses that we cannot put it into words, just as in life. We simply 'know' how to respond in that moment.

This is not to say that it is not useful to look back and try to verbally reflect-on-action; I think there is a lot to be gained from discussing what happened in a rehearsal, in fact I believe it is an essential element of the creative process. I also agree to a certain extent with Ostermann and Kottkamp's argument that it is important to find ways to '...articulate tacit knowledge and experiences'. How could we ever pass on knowledge to the next generation without doing so? How could a director or teacher ever share their learning and thoughts with their cast or group of students?

Thinking about Adesola's question in the reader, 'What Ideas do we like?', I suppose I like the idea that creative artists use tacit knowledge almost like a sixth sense. Perhaps this is what sets artists and art appreciators apart from others. For example, a visual artist may create a stunning work of shape and colour by feeling -  a kind of intuitive knowledge expressed on a canvas. They may be able to articulate what their stimulus was or talk about their process to a certain extent, but there was possibly a point where their tacit knowledge took over and they simply cannot fully explain their work in words. I like the idea of a bond between the artist and art appreciator, or performers and audience members. It's as if they share a special secret than can never be described, which I suppose is one of the things that makes art exciting for me.

In a completely contradictory way, I like the way that poets often seem to unlock some of the secrets of tacit knowledge. In great poetry, it's often as if the author has a vocabulary and ability with words and rhythms that transcends that of the general population. I love it when I come across a poem that seems to really capture an idea or feeling that I have had myself, but would never have been able to verbally express. Just as an example, here is a poem below by Auden that I really like. I have often thought about how there can be so much good and bad happening in the world at once; the idea of the circle of life....that a joyous birth could be happening in one house whilst next door someone takes their last breath. Auden explores these ideas below and the first time I read it I was blown away by how perfectly he described these ideas...

Musée des Beaux Arts About suffering they were never wrong, The Old Masters; how well, they understood Its human position; how it takes place While someone else is eating or opening a window or just walking dully along; How, when the aged are reverently, passionately waiting For the miraculous birth, there always must be Children who did not specially want it to happen, skating On a pond at the edge of the wood: They never forgot That even the dreadful martyrdom must run its course Anyhow in a corner, some untidy spot Where the dogs go on with their doggy life and the torturer's horse Scratches its innocent behind on a tree. In Breughel's Icarus, for instance: how everything turns away Quite leisurely from the disaster; the ploughman may Have heard the splash, the forsaken cry, But for him it was not an important failure; the sun shone As it had to on the white legs disappearing into the green Water; and the expensive delicate ship that must have seen Something amazing, a boy falling out of the sky, had somewhere to get to and sailed calmly on.

Campus Session

I really enjoyed meeting some of the other students at yesterday's Campus Session. We thought about Reflective Practices and played some games that highlighted certain elements of reflection. For me, the best thing about the morning was simply meeting people; finding out who had a similar professional practice to me, and the different ways that people have been engaging with the course.

In the first exercise, we simply spoke to a partner about our professional practice. We then regrouped and shared the information that we had learned with everybody else. I realised I had given Akin hardly anything to say about me! I discussed with Paula the fact that I find I shy away from talking about my work as I find that people can have a negative response, often saying something along the lines of "Oh yeah..actress are you? What you 'bin in?". So often I find it more comfortable just to avoid the topic....however, yesterday taught me that I really shouldn't pre-judge people's reactions and I need to think more carefully about having some information prepared for people who are interested in what I do. Whilst recently in New York City, I was struck by the American sense of confidence and the fact that they really celebrate success, so perhaps I could take a leaf out of their book. After all, I should be proud of my achievements!

One of the other games we played was holding up canes with our little fingers...firstly in pairs, then in groups. We tried to experiment with moving around the room and changing levels. Adesola asked us to consider at which stage of Kolb's Learning Cycle we entered the game. I surprised myself, as I have previously written about how I tend to begin at the stage of Reflective Observation, however, with the cane game, I jumped right in at Active Experimentation without looking around to see what others were doing. I think this has to do with comfort zones depending on the activity you are doing - as an actor who has been through drama school, I am used to playing crazy physical games with new people and not questioning it, so I was happy to jump straight up and give it a go. When it came to creating a blog though, I was more out of my comfort zone, so had to investigate other blogs first to get a sense of what I was trying to achieve.

I hope the fact that more of us have now met and exchanged some ideas will mean that we all feel more confident to leave comments on other people's blogs. As I said to some of the others yesterday, I think it could be easy to feel isolated on the course unless we all really make the effort to create and nurture our own online community.         

Blog Improvements

As some of you may have noticed, my blog has until now been pretty bland to look at. I liked the basic shape and layout that I chose, but I am aware that in comparison to other peoples blogs it looked pretty colourless and didn't necessarily grab your attention.

My dilemma was, I wanted to keep the look of my blog professional and simple, so I chose neutral colours and shapes, but I also wanted to create a bit more visual interest. I have tried to do this through adding elements like photos and screengrabs to my blog posts, but I felt like I needed a bit more of a change to my basic layout.

So, after looking at other blogs to get inspiration I have decided to make some small changes...
After looking at Laura's post about flickr I decided to include a slideshow at the top of my blog page, I hope this will intrigue and engage people and also it's something I plan to keep updating throughout the course, so it will grow and develop. I have also changed the background of my blog - I think the dark colour creates a more striking effect.

In case anyone else is looking for inspiration, I have listed below a couple of the blogs that I particualrly liked (although there are so many good ones!)

• I liked the way that Jessica Hunt  has used a slideshow on her blog, as I found myself immediately engaged. It was easy to develop a sense of the type of performer Jessica is and I found myself more intrigued to read her blog as a result of this. 
• I wanted to list Alicia Andrew's blog as a great example of a blog that is visually engaging yet still looks extremely professional. I think it looks very striking to have the background black and writing in white, and I love the way we are immediately engaged by one simple, large photo at the top of the page.
• Elizabeth Eastman's was one of the first blogs I looked at when I joined the course and I think her huge picture at the top works really well. Again, she has chosen a simple, black layout which I think may actually be the same template as Alicia's.

No doubt the way my blog looks will continue to change over time, as I make further improvements, but for now I am pleased with the way it looks. I think it shows a little more of my personality, whilst still remaining professional in style. Please feel free to comment!....

VAK in others

The technique of NLP (Neuro Lingiustic Programming) uses the VAK concept as an aid to more effective communication. 

The point is, if you can learn to recognise whether somebody is a visual, audio or kinaesthetic learner, then you will be able to adapt your behaviour, body language and speech to get your message across more effectively. For example, if you were doing a presentation and you realise that your 'audience' is a visual learner, you might choose to use more pictures and diagrams or make more hand gestures. Alternatively, if you were teaching a pupil who with a audio learning style, you might make up rhymes to help them remember facts and figures.   

It's a topic that you could go into a great deal of study on, but I thought it was worth touching upon here. Below is a list I found of words associated with particular learning styles - listen out and see if you hear them used by your friends and colleagues....

Visuals	Auditories	Kinethetics
bright bird's eye view catch a glimpse clear colorful envisage flash focus hazy highlight horizon illustrate in light of look make a scene notice observe perceive perspective picture preview reflect see see eye-to-eye show survey tunnel vision view watch	accent articulate ask call on discuss express harmony hear inquire loud listen mention noisy oral outspoken quiet pronounce remark resonate ring ring a bell say scream sound speak static talk tell tone	affect boils down to burning clumsy concern dull euphoric feel firm grab grasp handle hard hit impress intuit know pressure relax rough rub rush slipped my mind smooth stress suffer tackle touch warm

My Learning Style

VAK (Audio, Visual & Kinaesthetic learning styles)     


The concept of being primarily a visual, audio or kinaesthetic learner is one that I have come across before in my previous study, but I didn't know before looking at our course reader that the concept was introduced by Howard Gardner.

Laura Ann Wright included some web tests on her blog that I found really fun - check out her post on Reflective Theory to have a look. The tests basically help you to asses what type of leaner you are and I think it's interesting to see if they agree with you. I also found this quick quiz online to test your VAK type: http://www.vaknlp.com/vak.htm 

Having considered the topic before, I am confident that I am primarily a visual learner. Often when I learn lines I remember the exact way that they look on the page, I remember faces but am pretty bad with names, and when I recall plays or films that I have seen, it's always images rather than lines that I remember. I also think that this is what motivates my interest in photography - I am very interested in telling stories through visual pictures, and I like things to be presented in a clear and attractive way.

In the past I have felt frustration about my lack of audio learning skills, for example if I watch a classical play that I have not read beforehand, I sometimes struggle to keep up with the meaning of the words, and I often find it hard to articulate my thoughts about a piece in words, finding it easier to write things down. I feel that I have already improved upon this skill through listening to speech radio, like Radio 4; I used to find it impossible to take anything in from the radio, but purely through the habit of listening to speech radio programmes everyday, I now only occasionally find myself 'switching off' mentally. In fact I now find the radio of huge benefit, as it allows me to multi-task - I can learn new things and catch up on the news etc. whilst I get ready in the morning or cook dinner.

I think Adesola's suggestion in the reader about trying to use more of the other 2 learning styles for a day is a great one, as the more ways we have to absorb information surely the more we will ultimately learn. I am going to try out listening to more plays on the radio and audiobooks, and try and find ways to engage kinaesthetically wherever possible. 

Kolb's Learning Cycle

The question was raised in the reader on reflective practices, 'At which stage do you feel you enter Kolb's learning cycle?'. Considering the example used of the way we approached creating our blogs, I would say that I tend to enter at the point of Reflective Observation. I began the process by looking at other students blogs and getting some inspiration before I began to create my own. I think that I often do this subconsciously; as I mentioned before I am a very visual learner and I tend to remember snap shots of images picked up from all over the place. I think it's great because I have a wide range of sources stored in my head to draw on and hopefully my observation skills allow me to build up a picture of what works. However, the drawback to being this type of learner is the paranoia that you are never having an original idea, often thinking 'Have I seen/heard that somewhere before?'. Having said that, all thinkers & philosophers must first develop opinions on established thinking before going on to develop their own ideas. This is exactly how Kolb came to create his learning cycle, by looking at the theories of Dewey and Lewin and taking them further.

I think I could be braver when it comes to leaping in at the Active Experimentation stage. It is necessary as a performer to be open to jumping in at any stage of the cycle, and we are very often required to begin with active experimentation through techniques like improvisation. When thinking of another person's approach, as suggested in the reader, a director I worked with at Drama School sprung into my mind. He asked me in the very first rehearsal to create huge physical gestures and fall to the ground in tears, before I felt that I had discovered the emotional impetuous to do this. He was asking me to just give it a go and see what came out of it (Active Experimentation). I found it incredibly hard at first and must admit I was afraid of making mistakes, but once I had a try I found the process very liberating, and through the physicality, consequently found the necessary emotion.

So, in terms of Kolb's learning cycle, I had begun at Active Experimentation, had a Concrete Experience (throwing myself on the floor and beating the ground), then reflected on how that had made me feel (Reflective Observation) which ultimately lead to making discovers and decisions about what the character was going through (Abstract Conceptualism). Obviously then we re-rehearsed the scene and the cycle began all over again. This was certainly a positive experience for me, and I believe I made creative discoveries on this occasion that I may not have made, had I entered the learning cycle at my natural point.

My 2.0 Week...

A couple of weeks ago, I said that I was going to record all the Web 2.0 sites that I visited for a week, and see what I found out about the ways that I am currently using these in my professional and personal life. Well, the results are now in and I was actually quite surprised at how few there were. Whilst I spend a lot of time on the internet, most of the sites I visited were 'Web 1.0' (in other words, not interactive). However, I did notice that with the Web 2.0 sites I tended to make multiple return visits to the same sites.


Whats's on Stage (www.whatsonstage.com)  This website I often visited quite by accident, when using a search engine to look up a particular play, performer or director. As well as reviews and the opportunity for comment, it also tends to have some useful articles about up coming seasons which is great for researching jobs.


Facebook (www.facebook.com) Well, there is no getting away from it, even in New York, I visited facebook at least once a day. Whilst a lot of the time I spend on facebook is purely social, I have begun to notice the occasions on which myself and my 'friends' use it for professional reasons, and it was actually more often than I would have guessed. A lot of people I know use it to promote plays that they are in, fundraise for arts projects, shout out for people to help with costume/set/photography etc., I even saw one post from an injured dancer who managed to track down a cheap sports therapist through facebook.

Guardian Theatre Blog (http://www.guardian.co.uk/stage/theatreblog) The Guardian newspaper theatre blog is one of my favourite theatre blog sites with useful and varied articles on all aspects of theatre. The Guardian online community are very active in terms of leaving comments, so you can often find some interesting debate developing on there.

How's my Acting? (www.howsmyacting.com) I stumbled across the site whilst researching for the course, and I think this is a great example of how not to use Web 2.0 platforms. It's basically an American site where people post videos of themselves performing monolgues etc. and people leave feedback and comments. I suppose a useful idea in theory, but the quality was generally not good at all. We must remind ourselves that everything we put up on the web is 'out there' and could pop up at any point during your future for a potential employer to see. You wouldn't post up a clip of yourself practising answers for a job interview and doing it really badly when you weren't ready, and it's no different for performers. I think we need to ensure that all videos we post of our work are well presented, and the quality of work that we would be happy to display in front of an audition panel. So professional showreels, definitely, but me practicing a speech from Romeo and Juliet in my bedroom is probably not going to do me any favours...

Flickr (www.flickr.com) Since joining this site to create a photostream as part of this course, I have visied it several times to look at the work of other performers. As I love photography I find it a very interesting site and I love the way that you can share galleries and sets.

You Tube (www.youtube.com) I think you tube is a great site and I find myself using it more and more often for quick tutorials on how to do things...literally everything seems to be on there! I am learning the guitar, so I often find lessons for a particular song etc. There are also some great examples of musicians and dancers that have been 'discovered' through you tube and I think it is a great platform for more underground scenes to thrive. For example, the street dance and beat boxing cultures have really increased in popularity since the dawn of you tube. Here's a link to Bellatrix, a female beat boxer I recently discovered on there...she's pretty cool. 

My experiences this week have pulled into focus for me the potential of Web 2.0 as a professional tool. It's often more subtle than creating a big shiny platform to 'sell yourself', but there is no doubt after this week that I would feel frustrated without it. Without online networks like facebook creating the opportunity for people to share skills and advice free of charge, I realised that there are a lot of small scale theatre projects that simple wouldn't get off the ground. I now definitely agree with the comments of Hamilton (2000) from the reader which state that '...participation is a function, in part, of the reduction of barriers to access (such as time, skill and financial commitment) and that an increase in participation can contribute to the successful building of relationships and...democratisation' (Hamilton 2000, p.371). 

Screengrabs

Another new technology skills I have just learned! I thought it was worth mentioning in case anyone who hasn't come across screengrabs yet might find it useful.

It's simply a way of saving a frame of a web page as an image, which you could then post to your blog to help explain things, as I have done in the post below. You may need to download an 'add-on' to enable you to do this, but it's very quick to do and once you have the 'add-on', you simply right-click and the screengrab option will appear.

If anyone has any more advanced comments I would love to know more; I was a little bit irritated that I couldn't seem to display the images any larger, or zoom into the table I wanted without loosing the sides. Any tips greatly appreciated....

Digital Generations

Whilst reading Leanne Watson's blog 'Do Web based Technologies improve professional practice?', I realised she had touched on a point from the Campus Session that was at the root of my apprehensions to do with social networking in professional practice. The point raised by Leanne was

• There are still people in the industry from the generation before social networking. (Watson, 2011)

Although this seems a fairly obvious point, I think it struck a chord because it is particularly relevant in the performing arts/theatre industry. I believe, in comparison with other industries (fashion, media and PR all spring to mind) the most influential people in theatre still tend to be of the slightly older generation. There is no doubt that we are seeing more powerful younger directors like Rupert Goold and Michael Grandage, but still it takes time to build up a reputable body of work that people respect, so it's highly unlikely you would come across a super successful theatre director in their early twenties.

A friend recently introduced me to Mark Prensky's concept of the 'digital native' generation. Prensky defined the term as follows;

DIGITAL NATIVES

'Native Speakers of the digital language of computers, video games and the internet'

(Prensky, 2001) 

Prensky was originally considering the problems of 'digital immigrant' teachers educating their 'digital native' pupils. However this research as since been developed and taken further by various academics, and I certainly think it could be really helpful to be aware of these 'digital generations' in our professional practice. The screengrabs below help to explain these generations and provide lots of food for thought. For example, would we present our CV and photo in exactly the same way to a 'digital native' as we would to a 'digital alien'?

These screengrabs were taken from Alan Redman's Slideshow 'Dawn of the Digital Natives' 

The concept basically puts us into categories according to our age, for example I would be classed as a 'digital adaptive' - someone from generation x or y 'willing to embrace the technologies they saw evolve into consumer durables'. I realised that lots of the people I am hoping to work with form part of the 'boomer' generation of 'digital immigrants', so I need to be aware that these people may have a reluctance to communicate via the Web or need things simplifying slightly. 

 

Oddly enough there seems to be a strong trend at the moment in encouraging the work of very young playwrights, such as Polly Stenham (That Face, Tusk Tusk) and Bola Agbaje (Gone too Far!, Off the Endz). We enjoy hearing the voice of youth in theatre, and I think this is a trend that will continue to develop and spread across the spectrum of jobs in the theatre. However, for the time being, we must keep an awareness that many of the people who hold influence or who we would wish to employ us, may still be living in a relatively non-technological world.

The Milk Train...

I saw this play last night Off Broadway - a rarely performed Tennesee Williams play called  'The  Milk Train doesn't stop here anymore'. I thought that since I am in America, it would be interesting to see work by an American playwright, and it was a real treat to see Olympia Dukakis on stage. I found the video below on The Roundabout Theatre Website which gives a great glimpse into the production. I have noticed that theatre companies are creating this type of video more and more, and it's an interesting example of how the internet is encouraging the merger of performance mediums. See www.roundabouttheatre.org for more details.

Google Docs

When I first read the information in our 'Get Started with Web 2.0' booklet, I couldn't really think of an immediate example of how Google Documents might be useful to me, but I think I have just seen the light.

I was reading the article on Paula's blog about 'hyperactivity' and some ideas popped into my head that I really wanted to record and continue to explore when I had more time. I am away in New York this week, without access to my own computer, so getting my thoughts down on a word document and uploading it means that I can continue working on from any computer anywhere in the world - makes perfect sense. A couple of weeks ago I would have been frantically tearing at scraps of paper and carrying them across the Atlantic with me! So there you go...another technology skill that seems obvious once you know how.

I have also uploaded my CV and acting headshot so that I have constant access to them; I have previously found myself in situations where someone has requested a CV but I have been delayed in sending it if I am away from my laptop. I think this could be something useful to all BAPP students.

New York, New York!

I am in New York City this week, so unfortunately won't be able to attend the first campus session. However, I think there will be a lot to learn from the experience and certainly a lot to digest and reflect on. I am staying with a friend of mine who is a playwright and actress and I am really interested in finding out a bit more about the theatre scene out here.

I hope to see some theatre here too but I will have to choose wisely as it's so expensive compared to London. With most Broadway tickets costing a couple of hundred dollars, it makes me realise how much I have come to take for granted the amount of great theatre you can see in London for a tenner. It highlights for me the worries I have about the government's cuts to arts funding and the suggestion we should look to the US as a model of a society where private patronage is more prominent. A high price to pay? We all know these are difficult financial times and cuts must be made, but the thought of a society where only the very wealthy can enjoy seeing top quality theatre makes me feel quite angry.


Incidentally, if you do come to NYC, check out www.broadwaybox.com for cheaper tickets to shows on and off Broadway. Although not exactly a Web 2.0 site, it's creators collect discount voucher codes and distribute them so that anyone can take advantage. A wonderful example of democratisation through the internet! I managed to get 40% off some tickets to see the Tennesee Williams play 'The Milk Train doesn't stop here anymore'.

Social Networking on Radio 4

There was an interesting programme on Radio Four yesterday about Social Networking - have a listen by following the link below. I'd be interested to hear any comments....

Radio Four - 'You and Yours' - 01/02/2011
