Yesterday evening, the BBC programme Coast published on it's Twitter
feed "Hey there, anyone know any good Coast stories for series 4?". So I
asked "Has Coast done a story about the Green Flash that inspired Jules
Verne at Oban?". I was most surprised to receive a reply this afternoon
saying "Ooh, this sounds great, please tell me more!"

Now, I think I understand the background to Le Rayon Vert (someone about
to marry travels to the Scottish Highlands in order to see a green
flash) but because all submissions are being done via Twitter I have to
condense it into 140 characters or less and at the same time make it
appealing enough for the BBC to actually commission the story. Therefore
could I ask our Scottish friends if they could explain Le Rayon Vert in
140 characters or less (if indeed possible) in such a way that the BBC
will think "Wow, that's a great story. Right, off we go to Oban then!"
