Long description of interview: The group, chosen by Karen MacDonald, head girl at Sleaford Girls High School to represent all the schools in the town, are all lively and enthusiastic participants - especially Kyle Love. There's a certain amount of boy/girl tension in the interview, which ranges across age, sex and class differences in language.
