”My screen got scratched.” The Other Newspaper meets Anna Arild as she was attempting, somewhat haphazardly, to lean her bicycle against a newspaper stand. First the bicycle fell over, then Anna, and then the news stand. “No… anyway,” she continued, oblivious to the chaos; “My screen got scratched. Then I thought; actually it gives it a bit of personality. But my girlfriend didn’t get it, so I rolled it up in an old horse blanket…you know, to give it a bit of personality. I think the penny dropped then.” Suddenly, Anna’s eye is caught by a small article in a free newspaper on the table in the café where we’re sitting. “Then I thought; what if I can’t hear it ring? So I whipped off the blanket again and of course there was a missed call!”
