    You all had a hell of a lot of balls to get up there and say some of the things you did :D

    Martyn Lewis' does sound a really passionate bloke about what he believes in. He makes a good ambassador for thesite.

    I'm listening to it now. That's my girl franki, wow for courage talking about SH.

    On careers, the main careers office in my home town closed at 4, and wasn't open at weekends. What's the point in that? everyone's at school!

    GWST is absolutly right about house prices. My sister's can only part own houses. Sophy with a 75% purchase with the council (?) in oxford, and Jess with a 50% with my dad.

    Credibility in part comes for how established and the reputation you have. Thesite has an incredible reputation and is clearly backed up by the volume of users.

    I think the negative press that youth get is a big part of the separation. On having a "special" news program, I think newsround on the cbbc has done nothing but take steps back from when I was younger, maybe it's my cynicism, but I think there's work to be done there.

    eta: I'm going to keep thinking of things as I listen and put them here, then maybe we can argue.


    I really enjoyed that, well done everyone.

    For those who had problems with the size of the question time section, there's now a smaller (about 12 meg) encoding, though the quality is a bit reduced, available on the blog.

    He's a big teddy bear :yes:

    Franki did really well. It was hard enough for me to talk about it, and it isn't an issue for me especially anymore.

    I would personally like to thank LSE and Vodafone for the excellent wine and canapes- if anyone can send me a catering sized pack of that tiryaki salmon, I would love them forever.
