The author and publisher of the magazine did not make themselves known so the Post went about tracking them down.

It contacted Aaron Scargill and received a return call from a man who called himself James Scargill.

A former employee advised the Evening Post to regard the name as fictitious.

"James Scargill" said the company was not behind St George v the Dragon.

Astonishingly, however, he warned that a dangerous Kosovan was behind the publication and advised us that we should not cross him.

Aaron Scargill's solicitors admitted that Aaron Scargill HAD distributed the second magazine version of St George v the Dragon.

Further links between the estate agent and the publication was confirmed by another company which was commissioned to arrange distribution of some of the magazines.

In a letter to the Evening Post's lawyers, it said boxes of St George v the Dragon were given out to its temps in Market Square. The man who was giving them out identified himself by holding up a placard saying Aaron Scargill.

With evidence of the links overwhelming, Aaron Scargill staff remained in denial.

And the people who know the full truth are remarkably reluctant to be frank.
