Trevor McDonald has been in the harbour most of the afternoon, with TV crew in tow. Thought at first he might of been doing a nice piece on NC until I realised all the guys with him were GC. SO if any of you are in the UK keep an eye out, would love to hear what the programme is about.

Isn't he the guy who did the 'Horizon' documentary, going around interviewing [alleged] 'fugitives from British justice', who'd ensconced themselves in TRNC - was he brave, or what?

Did he have his favorite tipple in hand, a bottle of gin?

A small Efes costs 'an arm and a leg' down the harbour - I doubt if the whole of the 2010 BBC's budget would run to a bottle of even the local gin, Richard!

That would be the Old harbour, I think even Trevor could manage 6tl for a beer. He even had a meal, spent about 3 hours down here.

He does whatever he needs to do to earn a crust. Faded star and all of that so he now has to take whatever work he can get. The word 'Mercenary' comes to mind.

People casting dispertions and they do not even know what he is doing. Paranoid perhaps?



By the way did he have a work permit?

' People casting dispertions ' or did you mean 'aspertions'

Regardless the guy has become a lowly 'take what work you can' reporter regardless of what little reporting ethics he has.

I think he is still dining out on his 'News at Ten' achievements.

'And finally'

Reading the thread title I thought (hoped) somebody had dumped him in the water...



Oh well never knew a journalist who didn't report what he thought his paymaster wanted to hear...

I was told he was at the border with his crew and the turkish cypriot immigration guys told him not to film.

Only hearsay but I dont doubt the messenger.

If you see him again bung a couple of eggs in his direction, he is probably staying all expensive paid over the dark-side.

Apparently he is filming with regard to a cross border trade initiative set up by Sir Stelios Haji-Ioannou and thus hopefully it will not be the political assasination of the TRNc as feared by some
