Have you ever been in your local paper? If so, why? (self.casualuk)

When I was a kid, me and my beavers group got into the local paper because we did something.

I've got no idea what we did, but we got printed and as a 7 year old that was pretty huge.

Life never got better.

Local paper, local tv news and radio 4 for organising a toad road crossing when the colony turned out to be the largest recorded in the UK one year.

Local tv when I was the pagan chaplain for some local prisons,

National tv news for a couple of Greenpeace protests.

My elbow featured on the cover of Time magazine for another protest once.

I appeared in some Portillo documentary or other, and briefly in a couple of episodes of Coast, all because of where I worked at the time.
