Only weeks after a picture of Jake and I graced the front page on Milton
Village View (thanks Jane) our picture has made it into another, less
important, publication but with a slightly higher circulation. Jake and
I are in today's New York Times in an article with a top headline
"MILTON JOURNAL" and datelined "Milton, England".
It's actually nothing to do with Milton, it's about TV licensing. We
don't have a TV, which means we get letters and, if we're really lucky,
visits wanting to search our house. I wrote about a recent exchange on
my home pages[1] and this was picked up by an NYT reporter who came to
see me[2].
Anyway the article is online at:
www.nytimes.com/2004/12/28/international/europe/28britain.html
(or try this URL if it wants you to register
the-hug.org/url?7797491b which I think avoid that)
The picture of Jake is rather good, especially the enlarged version.
Just a shame about the bearded gent behind him spoiling the shot ;-)
