Well, seven minutes actually.
Got a call from BBC Radio Kent yesterday, they found me via the website.
They were doing a slot on DIY Disasters prior to the Easter DIY boom and wanted the views of a professional.
Spent 7 minutes on the phone this morning live on air, got the company name mentioned twice!
I just lurve free publicity!
Should you be bored enough to wish to listen to my inane ramblings, its on after 1 hour 49 mins here;
Si
the point. Work out how much that coverage would have cost you in advertising. Magic.
Very engaging, my Mum has drilled through pipes before lol
Love it.
Nice one

Well I've done that. Picked up a bit of loose floorboard at my brother's, saw the central heating pipe underneath, and then nailed the board down onto the pipe.
It was Feb so they weren't best pleased.
So have I. Not the example on the radio though :-)
Gerald Ratner might disagree

You speak very well. I wouldn't be surprised if you get a few more media calls.
Or you could try promoting yourself to do a regular slot "diy tip of the week" sort of thing.
I see he has competition. The first sounds uncomfortably familiar:
Medway Handyman Service:
alaskan dogs, a chameleon lizard, some fish and a jackdaw!
That's enough to put me off having him in my house....

A jackdaw? Just one?
The first one was too dark to read easily - but clicking on a button in Opera soon fixed that. TMH seems to be the only one of the 3 with any local logo.
He sounds worryingly normal for a usenet inhabitant ;)
Surprisingly, most of them are.
Did that with a gas pipe a few years ago. Thought 'That's a gas pipe, must be careful when I put the floorboards back' then put a nail through it. It was just at the time when British Gas had started to say they would charge for self-iinflicted damage - they were there within the hour and made no charge.
Doubt it. People like him rarely lose everything.
We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember "The Medway Handyman" saying something like:
Thank ged it was only seven minutes - any longer hearing that pair of buffoons presenting the show would have made me switch off. You were ok, though.
The male presenter was just about OK (by the rock bottom standards of local radio) but that woman ... Jeez! She's the sort of presenter that stops people listening to their local radio station.
TMH came across very well. A natural for the radio. Who knows, if he's better looking than Tommy Walsh, perhaps a career in TV beckons?
