Vox pops on the boards

We're trying out a new way of vox popping on TheSite.org. Now it's not that I don't like going up and down the streets in all weathers armed with a digital recorder, camera and notepad. In fact we're still very keen to get out and about, especially to events that affect young people. The reason for this new way of vox popping is to make sure we represent more than our local Londoners.

So if you check out the 'We need you' thread on the boards, you'll find the new vox pop thread. There's going to be no set limit over how long we keep the question running, but here's me hoping that within two weeks we will get at least ten good responses.

We've kicked it all off with the question: 'What was your first job?' Mine was working in a dog kennel for an eight-hour shift for £12 a day. It consisted of cleaning up a ridiculous amount of dog shit and walking around 20 dogs a day, "including two St. Bernard Matthew dogs", I remarked to someone other day when I asked them about their first job. The response was a lot of laughter. Ooops. St Bernards, St Bernard Matthews, whatever! In any case, it wasn't the best job in the world, but I did get a lovely tan in the summer months I worked there!
