[Spellyans] BBC Broadcast

[Ken MacKinnon]

Craig and friends.

I watched the Inside Out programme courtesy of Sky.   My own thoughts were 
that it did not get us very much further forward.   I contributed over an 
hour of recorded speech - but little more than a couple of snippets were 
used ( in my view on somewhat perpheral issues).

The programme contained a lot of stereoptyping, and I thought that Mick 
Catmull would have gotten a bit beyond this onto more salient issues.

I understand that CLP have set up a placenames working group.   I very much 
trust that people like yourself, Craig , and Oliver Padel have been 
included.

Jenefer and Nev Meek are due to attend a British & Irish seminar on language 
legislation next week in Edinburgh - and I hope to have the opportunity of a 
session with them on current issues.
