I’m a Virtual MEP

A week or so ago I got an email through this blog from a certain Jonty who, I think, goes to Shrewsbury school.  Shrewsbury school, if you did not know, and those outside of the UK probably will not know, is one of England’s oldest public schools. 

I should perhaps explain that ‘public’ schools in the UK are not exactly public, in that you have to pay to go to them.

Anyway, Jonty asked me for my views on climate change for a talk they were holding.  Apparently everyone in the talk is an MEP, and, for some reason unclear, Jonty is going to be me.

I guess that sort of makes me a virtual MEP.  But not only, a virtual MEP who has something to say on climate change! 

I’m not too sure how or why my name came up, maybe it was as a result of a rather dark short story I wrote a while back which is a little ominously titled ‘End‘. 

Whatever the reason, I was happy to give an opinion, which as my regular readers may know is not a great problem for me.  And, being asked like this was something I found quite flattering.  Sort of micro-fame, I suppose.

After a few nanoseconds of micro-fame, I shall go back to being little old me.  Nice while it lasted though!

    I thought your fame would come by way of sausages ;)

    Maryann,

    Please don’t mention sausages at the moment! Let’s just say that sausage induced fame is rather distant at the moment.

    I may reveal more shortly ;-)
