Day Nine, Greenock

I travelled up by train for the Scottish First Steps Launch the day before and had to go via Edinburgh, but managed to arrive in time to join everyone for a curry.

At the post-speech visit we saw dolphins, which excited everyone, especially Ed Miliband, Shadow Energy Secretary and former Labour leader. I made a great cold open featuring the dolphins (which I thought would be a real thumb-stopper) but it got taken out. Everything I produced in Scotland went into adverts not socials in the end.

Travel back was a nightmare, we missed our flights (our normal taxi/staff car hadn't been booked) so had to get a train which then ground to a halt near Birmingham and we ended up having to go cross country.
