My book, Silly Beggar: The World’s Stupidest Begging Letters, was featured on Monday’s edition of magazine show The Hour on Scottish Television.  The item was the first in a series about blagging freebies.  Throughout the week different approaches to acquiring items for free will be reviewed, with my light-hearted comedy approach up first.  Other methods they will look at include the Freecycle project and a group called the Freegans who live on things that the every day folks leave behind (wait - isn’t that the Wombles?).

The item was introduced by two very well-known Scottish presenters: Stephen Jardine and Dorothy Paul.  My interview is with presenter Vicky Lee, who visited my home to see some of the goodies I received.  We discussed the book and I read a brief excerpt (although all the jokes were mostly cut out!).  Even the blog you are reading right now was featured.

One viewer very kindly put my interview on YouTube, so please enjoy the link below:
