A few weeks earlier, Brian and Chris told us about WINOL covering the public sector strikes, this was something that I was very interesting in - being part of a live rolling news bulletin without any of the pressure that probably comes with working on WINOL for real.
Me and Ben were working alongside Michael Connolly and Uldduz Sohrabi Larki, we were mainly observing them and taking tapes back to the newsroom to be edited.
Overall, the experience was good, except for the rain - which David Cameron had provided just at the right time. The best part of the whole day was the hour or so at Oram's Arbour (basically a field!), it was just a field full of socialists slagging off the Government and the Tories in general - it was great!
I suppose the day did act as experience if I choose to go into the world of TV, I'm not going to be presenting as soon as I graduate and it's very likely I'll just be a runner. Similar to how Christine Bleakley started out and look at what a great career she's had... :P
