AN OLD Elizabethan took to the airwaves on Old School FM yesterday. Chief Minister Lyndon Trott was the guest on the fourth and final day of the college’s broadcast which was set up as part of activity week for Years 8 and 9 students.
The job of grilling the island’s premier politician fell to 14-year-olds Alex Falla and Jordan Rosamond. Alex said he had found Deputy Trott easy to interview.
‘I was quite nervous at first but some people told me he was a good guy to chat to,’ he said. ‘It was really good fun and we got more confident the more we got into it.’
Deputy Trott, a member of the Elizabeth College board of directors, said it had been a privilege to be interviewed and the questions were good. ‘There were a couple of potential bear traps but I think I just managed to come through it unscathed,’ he said. ‘The quality of questioning at a Treasury Select Committee hearing at Portcullis House that I attended on Tuesday was about the same.’
