A quite pathetic claim to fame, by me.

BBC 1, 7pm last night and "Frontline Scotland" (the programme can be watched again here) featured the use of "Closure Orders" whereby premises that have a history of anti-social behaviour can be boarded up, effectively evicting (albeit temporarily) the inhabitants. The programme featured the Marr family from my home town of Crieff. That particular family name has over the recent decades acquired a certain cache in bonnie Strathearn and as I discovered this morning on Google, has not gone unnoticed by the Sunday tabloids. It has also been noted further afield as far away as Seattle. Funny to think, when I was at High School as a contemporary of Marr jnr, if such a thing as a US- style yearbook had existed, I think it could have been considered as the safest of safe bets that he would not have been labelled "most likely to feature in a tv programme".
