I don't normally generalise about any group of people but are journalists all the same?? Just found out I was in a newspaper today and the journalist had got it all wrong and misquoted me. Can I sue? lol

ooooooooooooooh which paper? are you famous? lol

Some do a great job, but on the whole, especially with larger papers, it's just sensationalism.

I used to want to be a journalist when I was a child, but am now glad I'm not!

Uggers !

You probably don't know me, but I am the Assistant Deputy Editor of the quarterly periodical "Genealogists of Our Time"

I can assure you that not all journalists are the same. Indeed the publication that I work for is committed to the highest standards of disclosure, intrigue and yarn.

I am interested that another publication should seek a quote from you ................ you obviously have something of great importance to say.

I would be most grateful if I could have an exclusive interview with your goodself, squire.

You can rest assured of the utmost discretion on my part, and any misquotations, fabrications or untruths will only be published with your expressed, or implied, permission.

I am afraid that my budget runs to no more than £25, but I can guarantee you a lifetime's notoriety.

What say you Guv ?
