Hello, Alan Kelly
Hi, Alan.
You emailed me via the contact form asking for an interview … I said 'Yea, verily yea' … alas, the email address bounced. I tried a couple of times, but still no luck.
So, anyway, didn't ignore you! Still happy to answer questions if you want to get in touch.
Cheers.
Angela
