Urban explorers: Raiders of the lost works - The Scotsman

Always a difficult decision to decide to help out a journalist, but Peter seemed sympathetic and interested in writing a more in-depth story - he was also up for coming along on an explore. Came out alright I think

 

[Oxygen Thief]

That's a very good article mate. Good effort.

 

[The Kwan]

Definately written with originality and as an outsider on the inside perspective, I enjoyed reading it... ne’er-do-wells, gotta love the dialect

 

[BenCooper]

Yeah, it's a bit cheesy but he at least made the effort to talk to a bunch of different people.

 

[The Kwan]

He did and he gave it a go himself.

 

[Speed]

Sellout

 

[Seffy]

I like it too, nice one. Just a shame about you-know-who getting even more publicity from it...

 

[georgie]

Im not middle class

 

[BenCooper]

Yeah - me neither, I work with my hands for a living!

Sellout

That's what I forgot to get off him - money

 

[AuntieKnickers]

one of the better news reports ive read

 

[seaven]

Once again sorry for the incompetent but who is " you know

 

[zimbob]

Imagine my surprise on seeing your face when I opened my Sunday paper

Nice and well-balanced article, good stuff Ben

 

[AJ]

No thanks. The following quote sums it up pretty well for me.

“I feel any attention that urban exploration receives is counterproductive,â€￾ said one Scottish explorer who declined to be interviewed, “and things have already become increasingly harder over the ten years I’ve been doing it due, in part, to security guards and owners of vacant property becoming more aware of this strange little pastime.â€￾

 

[BenCooper]

You're discussing this on a public forum - the cat is out of the bag on that one!

TBH, I rarely find the publicity around exploring to be a problem - increasing security is much more to do with the high value of scrap metal. Most security guards I've met have never heard of UE.
