Snowdrop Posted September 13, 2011 Report Share Posted September 13, 2011 Thanks for the scan Heather - it's lovely to see the full article as it is in the paper. I think it's great that Jonathon is involved with the academies too, along with the wives, and it makes it all a bit more interesting for people writing about them and they can share their experiences and work together on promotion. However, I suspect that rather than Jonathon "saving" Gareth from a tricky speaking situation, Gareth might have fared a bit better if he had been expecting to do all of the speaking himself. Jonathon had said much of what was to be said, then Gareth suddenly realised it was his turn to speak and it was more obvious that he'd got stuck. Although I think it's good that people get to see it as that's part of Gareth's day to day life, as it is for many others in his situation. It's only because it's so rare for people with speech problems to be in the public eye that it stands out and people are drawn to comment on it. It's great that Jonathon stressed how they are looking for the children to work hard - something Gareth had previously spoken about in earlier interviews about the project. I also thought it was funny that he pretended to be surprised that Gareth was from Bradford. I suspect it's an in joke that Gareth goes on about it all of the time!

He seems to have a lot to say Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorksheather Posted September 13, 2011 Report Share Posted September 13, 2011 I enjoyed Jonathon talking about the Performing Arts School , which was his idea in the first place , and of his work ethic , which is like Gareth's and his 'Bradford' joke That's how I saw it Snowdrop, Gareth suddenly realizing Jonathon had stopped talking, and got stuck when he suddenly realized it was his time to speak , anyway Gareth managed OK and got on with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
