As I'm sure you can guess, Michel de Brie is the Norman invader amongst us.  Now we’re just as angry about ‘1066 and all of that’ as the rest of you, but felt it would be wrong to discriminate, so we gave him a job. He's a true Frenchman, a journalistic version of Michel Platini. 

The son of an English nobleman and an early example of a oriental mail order bride, half-Chinese Bruce started out in the 1960s as a kung fu weatherman, having graduated from Dulwich’s Kung Fu, Meteorology and journalism college in ‘67. However he was sacked in disgrace after it was discovered that he had purposely started a hurricane using kung fu in Dulwich, UK, which caused £5M damage, in an attempt to boost viewing figures for his kung fu based forecasts.

Hailing from Cornwall, Mark Yarg is our country boy. His passion is for good cheese, fine wines and tractors.  In fact he is the proud owner of the Guinness book of world records record 'largest personal collection of tractors not used for farm work.'  Mark is very likable character, he's regarded as the office jokester.

Mike is the youngest brother of our senior correspondent Brian McCheddar. The black sheep of the McCheddar clan, he has never held down any job until now. Whilst he blatantly denies that he got the job because of his brother, it does appear that there is no record of him attending an interview or in fact submitting an application to become one of our correspondents.
