Recent client

Our agency supplies around 20 per cent of the daily news content in the UK. Here’s just one example of a client we helped recently.

Two brothers that drove 2,000 miles on an epic ‘Rude Trip’ of Britain – visiting every place with a RUDE name, were wondering how they could cash in on their trip and how to go viral in the press.

The brothers contacted SellUsYourStory.com using the Story Valuation form on this page.

We loved their story and photos, so we arranged multiple newspaper deals for the brothers. The pair sat back and watched the payments roll in.

Streets, villages and towns with naughty titles

Andy and Magnus Tait spent six YEARS planning their journey visiting streets, villages and towns with naughty titles.

Their stopped off at Cumwhinton, Fanny Street, Upperthong, Butthole Lane, Willey, Titty Ho and Sandyballs.

They also visited Bellenden Gardens, Poundbottom, Cockermouth, Penistone, Butthole Bell End, The Knob, Lower Swell, Old Sodbury, Butcombe and Shaftesbury.

The pair also took in Shitterton, Lickfold, Fingringhoe, Slutshole Lane, Feltwell, Fanny Hands Lane, Scunthorpe, Rimswell – and Wetwang.

Funny photos

The lads spent four days on their road trip and took a selfie picture at 34 road, town or village signs.

Their remarkable blue tour of Britain saw them trek through at least 25 counties on each of the North, East, South and West coasts.

The trip took six years for 34-year-old Andy, from Aberdeen, to meticulously map out.

He dreamed up the idea after he drove past a place called South Gash, in Northern Scotland in 2013 with his brother Magnus, 32, from Edinburgh.

Andy says he couldn’t help but laugh at a South Gash signpost and ever since that day has researched the location of other hilariously named places.

Hilariously named places

He then went on to painstakingly map out a route, incorporating 34 stops in almost every corner of Britain.

“I always enjoy going out of my way to have fun and to take things too far”, said audio engineer Andy.

“It was a lot of fun and we actually saw a lot of interesting places.

“It was a bit of a slog towards the end and it was dark when we got to some places. But never at any point did we get bored.

“I’d say it’s definitely an alternative was to see Britain. We just found it hilarious.
We laughed our asses off at each place and that says a lot about us.”

Wads of cash

Andy and software developer Magnus set off on their journey from Bellenden Gardens, in Edinburgh, on Friday morning (April 27).

They arrived back in the same street at 1.30am on Tuesday Morning (April 30).

He says it took him six years to convince his brother to join him on the trip after constant pestering ever since the pair passed South Gash together in 2013.

Andy chipped away at planning his route on a monthly basis over the six years, before finally packing up a few belongings, snacks for the road and wads of cash for fuel.

He says the trip saw they visit some of the country’s prettiest places.

The most picturesque places for him were Poundbottom and Sandyballs in the New Forest.

But his favourite out of the whole lot based on the hilarity of its name was Wilsford Cum Lake.

He saw the funny side of it eventually

Andy said: “I’ve had the idea for six years now. I insisted we stopped at South Gash to take a photo but Magnus didn’t fancy it.

“That led to an obsession for places with funny names and six years later Magnus decided to make it up to me.

“He saw the funny side of it eventually.”

Andy’s route is so well mapped out that it only took the pair between 60 and 90 minutes to drive between each stop.

He said: “We went right down the west coast, along the south coast and up the east coast of England.

“We have got a childish and immature sense of humour.

“This is something we can tick off our bucket list.”

The places the brothers visited

From North to South starting in Bellenden Gardens, Cumwhinton, Cocklakes Cotehill, Cockermouth, Clithero, Fanny Street, Slack Bottom Road, Upperthong, Penistone, Butthole Lane, Willey, Titty Ho, Bell End, The Knob, Lower Swell, Old Sodbury, Butcombe, Shaftesbury, Shitterton, Sandyballs, Pound Bottom landfill, Cocking, Lickfold, S. Harting, Wilsford Cum Lake, Fingringhoe, Slutshole Lane, Feltwell, Fanny Hands Lane, Scunthorpe, Rimswell, Wetwang, Coxhoe and back to Bellenden Gardens.

Our agency supplies around 20 per cent of the UK’s daily print news, and we work with every major news network in the world. This week we helped Patrick Tranter sell a front page story to The Sun after he was hit by Nigel Farage’s range rover in a head on collision.

Former UKIP leader Nigel Farage has now been banned from his local pub after he allegedly made a swift exit when he was involved in the head on crash with the landlord.

Fled the scene

Patrick Tranter, 38, was driving home with his one-year-old son when his Jaguar was hit by Farage’s Range Rover, he claims.

But instead of checking on Patrick and his son, the Eurosceptic Brexit Party MEP is said to have fled the scene.

Patrick and his shaken baby son George were taken to hospital in an ambulance, and he claims his car has been written off.

Speaking from hospital, Patrick said police who attended the crash were forced to launch a “manhunt” for the MEP who was on his way to last night’s (9th) Question Time.

Mr Tranter, who suffered neck and shoulder injuries, has now banned Farage from his George and Dragon pub, four miles from the politician’s home. He said he’s served him “countless pints” – but won’t have him in the pub ever again.

Patrick, from Westerham, Kent said: “Man of the people my arse. He didn’t even bother to see if me and my little boy were OK. He just upped and left.

“Had he had done so he would have recognised me as I’ve served him countless pints and I worked with his daughter just over a year ago. There’s no way he’ll be welcome back in my pub – which has the most British sounding name going.

Terrible human being

“I used to serve him pints and I worked with his daughter Victoria at a wedding about a year and a half ago. I run the local pub and by no means will he be welcome in my pub for a pint. He’s a terrible, terrible human being.”

Dad-of-one Patrick was driving his classic 1986 Series 3 Sovereign Jaguar along Clacket Lane, Kent, around 9:30am yesterday (9th) when he collided with a Land Rover.

He said Farage’s driver stopped at the scene, but the MEP made off.

Patrick said: “I had just dropped my wife off at the station for work.

“We were driving the opposite side of the road but their car was going at great speed. There was so much force that my car was pushed back into the bushes on the other side of the road.

“I ran out to see if my little boy was OK but Farage just got out of the car.

Pub landlord Patrick Trenter, 38, at his pub the George and Dragon in Westerham, Kent with his one-year-old son George. Former UKIP leader Nigel Farage has been banned from his local pub after he allegedly made a swift exit when he was involved in a head on crash with the landlord.

Farage just walked away

“Farage just walked out of the car. God knows where as it was a country lane.

“I turned around and asked one of his people, ‘Is that Farage?’ and she said yes. “I don’t think she was meant to say that.

“Police told me that the car would have been going at least 45mph but that is after both of us severely breaking.

“It would be pure speculation to guess how fast he was going but it’s his response which has really pissed me off. My car is a complete write off.

“It was a classic British car. It couldn’t have been more iconic.

“His driver was really courteous and waited by our car. He called the police and ambulance too. The police even launched a small manhunt for Farage. It was for his safety more so for any criminality.

“If he bothered to stop and see if we were OK he’d have recognised me. That man shouldn’t be anywhere near power.”

Patrick and George were rushed to Princess Royal University Hospital, Kent, where they were treated for neck and shoulder injuries, he claims.

A police spokeswoman refused to comment on whether Farage was being hunted. She said: “We were called following a two-vehicle collision in Clacket Lane, Titsey, around 9.55am (9 May).

“No one was injured as a result of the incident. The road was closed in both directions while the vehicles were recovered. We are not investigating.”

Sell story to the media like Tracy

SellUsYourStory.com helps thousands of people appear in the press each month.

We’re looking for all types of stories, happy, sad, amazing, or unbelievable. Recently we helped Tracy, a mum who was left fighting for her life after she stepped in between a knifeman and her daughter – and was stabbed through the boob.

Tracy Larkowski, 37, had to be resuscitated twice after the blade was plunged into her left breast, shattering several ribs and puncturing her lung.

Random attack

The random attack happened outside a supermarket at around 8pm when the mum-of-nine went to pick up her 15-year-old daughter Shakira.

She claims the unknown man “came out of nowhere” and lunged towards her daughter, so she pushed the teenager out of the way, in Basildon, Essex.

But the blade went through her breast and out the other side, and her friend bundled her into the car and raced to the hospital where she “died” twice.

A 22-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of grievous bodily harm with intent and was later released under investigation, pending further enquiries.

The chef is calling on authorities to do more to tackle knife crime.

Knife Crime

She said: “I died twice in A&E. My chest needed draining and my lung had to be re-inflated.

“My left lung had collapsed and needed to be stitched up just under my heart. He aimed for my heart.

“How I’m still alive I will never know. There must have been a guardian angel looking over me that day.

“I feel so lucky. I don’t know how I am still alive, even my surgeon said that.

“We need to set up a knife programme in Basildon to try and educate as many people as possible.

“It’s not just the person who has been stabbed who is affected by this terrible behaviour.

“It’s also the family and friends and the little children waiting for you to return home.”

Tracy Larkowski was left fighting for her life after she stepped in between a knifeman and her daughter in Basildon, Essex. She was stabbed through the boob. She had to be resuscitated twice after the blade was plunged into her left breast, shattering several ribs and puncturing her lung.

Picked a fight

Tracy and her friend Paul, 50, drove to pick up Shakira from outside the Co-op on October 7, because the teenager was scared after someone – not the knifeman – had picked a fight on her friend.

Mum and daughter were walking back to the car when he “came out of nowhere”.

She added: “He went straight for my daughter. I saw his knife before I saw his face and he had every intention to stab my baby girl.”

Instinct took over, and she pushed her daughter – knocking her out of the way and to the floor.

“Before I realised, before I had a chance to turn around or run away, he stuck the knife through my back and ran off,” said Tracy, who said nobody in the family recognised the man.

The blade sliced through her left breast, shattered several ribs, punctured her lung and just missed her heart before creating a gruesome exit hole in her chest.

Tracy said her lung began to fill with blood and she faced a life-or-death race to hospital.

“I felt it bubbling with blood. I didn’t scream because the pain was phenomenal”, she said.

“It was the worst feeling in the world. My lung was filling up with blood and I tried keep breathing.

“I was in agony.”

Rushed to Hostpital

Tracy Larkowski, 37, had to be resuscitated twice after the blade was plunged into her left breast, shattering several ribs and puncturing her lung. The random attack happened outside a supermarket at around 8pm when the mum-of-nine went to pick up her 15-year-old daughter Shakira.

Tracy was rushed to the Basildon University Hospital by her friend because she was just a few minutes away from the hospital and the journey only took around four minutes.

Paul pulled into the A&E’s ambulance drop off zone and called out for help.

Tracy says all she can remember is “coughing up blood” and seeing blood at her feet in hospital.

She had to be resuscitated twice after losing pints of blood through open wounds in her chest, she said.

“If I had waited for an ambulance I probably would have bled out on the street,” she said.

Doctors inserted a plastic drain into Tracy’s lung to drain out the blood and she still requires weekly check ups at hospital to monitor her breathing.

Tracy spent more than three weeks in hospital and had two operations and four blood transfusions.

Tracy told us: “It’s like a living hell for me. Every time I close my eyes I do relive it. I suffer with anxiety. It really has been horrible.

Tracy said she will be “forever grateful” to the surgeons, doctors and medics who saved her life.

She said: “I can’t thank them enough and I couldn’t possibly repay them.

An Essex Police spokesperson said: “A 22-year-old man from Basildon was arrested on suspicion of grievous bodily harm with intent at around 4.10am the following morning and was later released under investigation, pending further enquiries.”

Why sell a story to the media

Tracy decided to sell a story to the media to raise awareness of the crime and earn some money whilst recovering.

Chris, 33, got in touch with us because he was sick of being judged for his tattoos.

The chef got his first tattoo when he was 16 and has racked up a staggering 600 tattoos since.

He says when he finds a bare patch of skin in the shower, he gets it covered as soon as possible.

But he admits that his face tattoos have left him open to ridicule and he often hears people say “look at the state of his face”.

However Chris doesn’t regret any of his artwork – in fact he’s booked in for another six hour session next week.

He wanted to tell people that he might have tattoos on his face – but he’s still a loving dad and partner.

How it works

Chris emailed us and our trained reporter Joe had a chat with him on the phone about his story.  They worked together to make sure Chris was happy with the story.

When Chris was ready, we arranged for his story to appear as an exclusive in the Daily Star.  The story even got a mention on their front page.

After that it was featured in a number of other newspapers and websites, and we are in the process of securing TV coverage for Chris.

His mum Suzanne was forced to gather her family at hospital to say goodbye to her son.

Two years on – and after his killer was jailed – she bravely spoke out. We helped Suzanne tell her story, and share a final photo of him in hospital, in a bid to stop young men carrying knives.
