Day 1 of Offshore Europe - We're here

Good Morning,

We've touched down and aim to be blogging live from the event, as and when time allows.

Now registered, and complete with flashy lanyards, we're in the main arena, on stand 393, just next to one of the catering areas. Sorted!

Don't forget, on the show today, First Minister Alex Salmond, just after 10, and we get futuristic with touch-screen technology akin to Minority Report.

Plus, loads more.

We're on at 10.

In the meantime, any pronunciation assistance for the company occupying the stand across from us, is most welcome!

They're called Fuchs.

  1. Hi John, listening to you on DAB. Fuchs I believe are a German company who amongst other things sell motorcycle oils. Having studied German for 6 years and lived there for 2 you pronounce it F O O K S.
    Hope that helps, Eric @ Biketec Motorcycle Training, Aberdeen

  2. Add to that these comments from Jacky Nelson of L and N Scotland, who says "the best way to pronounce it is the same as Feugh, as in Feughside". Thanks also to Kenny McCurdie via e-mail who adds "Fuchs is FOX in German, or red-haired. Rhymes with dooks as in dooin fer apples"
