I understand what you're saying, but I'm talking BBC local radio, Mike. Willfully, somnambulantly, stupefyingly dull in the extreme.

"Well, the burst water mains on Charter St is now cleared up. Good news for everyone travelling to the vet's just off Broadoak Ave. Soon, we'll have Gilly with the chemist's rota after the 'you are 60+ and listening to BBC Local Radio' jingle, but first; here's St Winifred's Catholic Primary School Choir's version of Paul Anka's version of Sammy Hagar's version of David Lee Roth's version of Minnesota Fat's version of... who remembers old Minnesota Fats? Did you play pool with him once? Ring in if you've got a funny story about him, or just some story about your grandchild in a swimming pool making bubbles out of the bottom that popped charmingly. Please, we've got fifteen hours to kill until an exclusive interview with The Merseybeats comes up"

Great observation Bass, our BBC Essex is exactly like that, they have a phone in every day around 11am, people phone up and say they have an ironing board (needs new cover and legs) and want £10 or near offer and my number is Braintree blah blah blah, i feel sorry for the poor sods who have to host it, they try and sound jolly to this crap, and every now and again when you get a very tedious loathsome old git banging on about the price of sausages, and you can never park in sainsburys on a saturday, and his pension isnt enough to live on, and you can hear in the background a Pistol being loaded, raised to the head and then the trigger being cocked, but never hear the gun go off, must be a very very dull job.

I do a bit of voluntary work, stirring seven teabags in a teapot the size of Sri Lanka. Lovely girl I chat with, there - always asks me if I listened to BBC Lancashire that day. She 'phoned in once because they had a guest who was nearly as big as Frank Ifield in '63. Gave him the full "I met you in Mansfield dance hall, you must remember me; I had the pink shoes on."

I felt for the poor guy, sat in a studio with headphones on, struggling to remember some chance encounter in a provincial dancehall 40 years previous. To his very great credit, he didn't ask "Did I give you one?"

Maybe I'm sensitive, but there's something quite ageing about having seen Frank Ifield perform live, even in your teens. Good yodel, though. Smile

EDIT: When I say "girl", I'm being my usual diplomatic. The girl in question is 60+. How many Billie-Piper types do you know that stir teabags on a voluntary basis?
