Sky's staff in Spain will probably be busy over Christmas as it's not clear when big developments could happen.

Correct!


Was there really any point to that post?

Of course there was. Freddie thinks the fact that a tiny handful of Sky News presenters deign to talk to him on Twitter means he "knows" them, and is therefore a "well-placed source". I'm sure they wouldn't be impressed if they knew he was mis-characterising their "relationship". If he wants a career in journalism, though, such misleading braggadocio won't get him very far.

I have met them in real life, which means that this comment that you just made is misleading

Meeting them - probably fleetingly - does not mean you "know" them - two very different things. It makes you sound over-awed by their relatively moderate celebrity. You've asked them questions they've been kind enough to answer. That doesn't make you a well-placed source. It makes you a curious youngster. There's nothing wrong that, but handled the wrong way, it can add up to showing off, so it begs an answer to Rob's question... Why did you feel the need to say "Correct" to EastEngland's post unless you were showing off?

Oh trust me, I know them well. I should not have said correct to EastEngland’s post and i will now delete it. Lets just leave it at that. I know my sources very well and there’s no point arguing about it

Freddie has been contradicted on other occasions with his so called 'insider info', if you really have that info, you'll either give your source the courtesy to keep it to yourself or post it when the source is ready to release it.

There are other members here who will post the relevant information when it's ready to be released and also don't need to brag about knowing a presenter or producer (on Twitter) to get it.

Well fair enough if that is the case, but I think arguing over who knows TV presenters is a bit TV snobbish........

I don't like bragging either. I would ask was it bragging, or did someone dispute the users info meaning they had to brag. It would be easier if sources are not questioned, if they turn out to be true or not, can then be used to "judge" users and sources. We don't need to get into a childish row over who knows who surely.
