Anyway, the interview lasted for about 90 minutes, of which only a few seconds' worth of mid-rant soundbites are probably useful. It does make a difference being asked questions by someone who actually understands the subject area, though, so I guess it could be more.
I took this photo in the lobby of the BBC's rolling news feed:
It's a bit shaky as I was using my phone while attempting to not attract the attention of the guard who seemed to harbour a suspicion that I may be trying to snap celebrities. Anyway, as you can perhaps make out, it contains the message:
&£163;1bn plan to electrify rail line.
The HTML code for the £ symbol is £. It looks as if someone has called the # symbol "pound" (I call it "hash") and someone else has faithfully typed in a pound (£) symbol as asked, the ultimate aim of this exercise being to display a £ in the news feed. Except, it would appear that the display can show a £ anyway.
Yes, I realise that this is only remotely amusing to people who, like me, still hand-code their HTML...
