Meet Damon, Audrey and Rashid, helping out at the Wrose Carnival yesterday. Damon is a sheet metal worker, Audrey is a pub licensee in the city centre and Rashid is a former professional rugby player. All three are Bradford born and bred and all three have appeared in the (controversial) Channel 4 documentary series 'Make Bradford British'. I must confess that I hadn't seen the programmes on TV and only recognised Rashid from a picture in the local paper. The start of the carnival was delayed a little (Thomas The Tank Engine was running behind schedule) and I ended up chatting to Rashid. I can tell you that he is a great bloke, genial, deeply religious, down to earth and a great communicator. The programmes are available to watch on the Channel 4 website, so you can take a look yourself.
