   All you have to do now is train Sandy to round up tourists.

   Or can she do that already?

   Robert - There is usually no need as they tend to huddle together like sheep anyway. She’s developed quite a taste for them though.

   Poor Sandy. You’ve ruined her chances with her little friend down the road!

   Haunting music and scenery = clever advertising

   The tourists will flock to your part of the world now

   Steph - Looks aren’t everything. It’s a good ad. Filmed in the back fields.

   Hey! It’s You! Cool.
   Now get the flock out of there.

   Nah, I don’t believe it for a moment - Sandy wouldn’t let you get away with it!

   Don’t the sheep get a credit? You’ll have the unions down on you…

   Sixty - Your jokes are getting worse!

   Karyn - She is just a remarkably good actress. She had the gleam of an Oscar in her eye, and was prepared to tolerate anything.

   Caro - The thing about sheep is that they can’t recognise each other, so none of them knows who was in the film.

    Cooper - To be honest, I couldn’t tell you where I got my glasses. I couldn’t read the sign over the shop.

    I confess they used a wig on Sandy to make her look shorn. She liked it so much they let her keep it. She only wears it to parties though.

    Yes. I live in a very scenic part of the country. Great for attracting tourists. *heh*

    Awwwwwww, poor ‘Sandy’! Very good advert & quite tempting in attracting tourists I’m sure……..but then there’s the weather…………..!

    Don’t be fooled by Sandy. She loved every minute of it. I have a feeling it’s going to be a good year for tourists..

    Pretty nice video indeed. Is that really you? Not as bad as I suspected from your writing tone.

    “Not as bad as I suspected from your writing tone”

    ?

    Actually both Sandy and I are better looking. Also we come in colour. Maybe that’ll be us in ten years time?
