Sorry, can't help.

I'm only a FLIPPANT Scottish investigative journalist.

Further, I'm in Aberdeen.

When I went for my first job, the interviewer said he wanted to get an idea of my general knowledge so he asked me; "Who killed Cock Robin?".

I told him I had no idea. He seemed a bit miffed and told me to go away and not come back until I'd found out.

The missus was waiting for me outside and asked me how I'd got on.

"Great!", I said, "they've put me on my first story".

(Adapted from a story by the late, great, Dave Allen.)

You're near Edinburgh as well. I think the OP needs someone based here.

Actually, donkey's years ago we had the pleasure of staying near there for a few days shooting craps and smoking cigars.

One evening, we ate here and it always sticks in my mind that our server that night was called Art Wibble.

I also seem to remember ordering far too much broccoli.

I kid you not.

OP - I think you should sell your story to one of the red tops for a five figure sum and give the money to a worthy cause.

I'm presuming this isn't your usual Heat magazine or Jeremy Kyle story?
