re: "Are you wanting to make a batch of bannocks or a batch of brew? Your referent ain't clear I think he's got the bannocks and need the brew to go with. Sounded clear to me, but I may have made an assumption. Karen

In Orkney we get the 4 main UK terrestrial channels - BBC1, BBC2, STV and Channel 4 (we don't get channel 5). If anyone in the UK refers to a TV programme and doesn't mention specifically that it's on sky or cable, then it's likely to be one of the 4 main UK channels. Fiona Orkney

Did anyone see the Channel 4 TV programme yesterday evening (Saturday 02 Oct). It covered excavations on Westray and had quite a large section on the Transalpine Redemptorists on Papa Stronsay. I did not know that it was going to be shown until a kind friend phoned to tell me about 5 minutes before the programme started.
