Was it Radio Stoke, or was it Signal?

Or both?

Oh knickers, now you've got me!! I think it was Radio Stoke, as that's my go to station in the car.
Now I'm thinking it could have been Signal, wasn't both. There's only so many times you can play with the radio in a 2 minute journey home.

I believe that @peggy was on with Stu Haycock on Signal - I also believe that his son may have had a liver transplant a couple of years ago..

I'm sure all will be resolved when things calm down a bit.

Yr probably right, I flick from station to station all the time. Either way, it was a very interesting interview and I wish @peggy all the luck for the upcoming games.

... a bloke have a long and intricate discussion about buying some quite cheap 300mm long masonry drill bits at the boot sale.

Eventually, he decided that they might be too long.

I considered suggesting that he bought them, but didn't use the whole length to drill his holes, but I suspect that might have confused him a bit.

Or he drilled half way using a "measured half drill" length on one side and then do the same from the other direction.

..., on the phone.

Can you fit me a new pulley on the light?

(Mmm, this could get tricky, there is a rise'n'fall fitting in her dining room.)

Pulley, you say - do you really mean 'pulley' or is it the switch?

No, it's the pulley, it's on the light in the bathroom and I'm not allowed to have a switch in there.

(Mmm, the light fitting in her bathroom is fixed - obviously - and I'm not going to explain that the box with the string hanging from it is really a switch, or she'll want it moved outside)

OK, do you have the new 'pulley' and is it the right one?

Yes, and it doesn't matter, it should fit anything.

(Right, I'm now fairly confident that she just needs the string on the pull-switch replacing - and a successful visit has revealed this to be true...)

Mmm - I get this all the time.

Another one, who has 'leaded' glass overlays on her misting double-glazing, has spent some years inducing me to avoid committing myself to "fixing her lead-lights".

Her windows are well over thirty years old and, although I've avoided looking too closely, it's quite possible that the glazing units are fitted from outside, which can considerably complicate the issue on the upper windows.

However, I recently became aware that she was actually asking me to fix her LED lights.

She doesn't even have any LED lights outside, they are clearly halogen "Rottweiller Lights" and this can easily be seen from the ground.

Sometimes, it's like being in an episode of the Beverley Hillbillies.

(This works better in an audio version)

"I've no idea what's going on with the bins, the refuge men have changed all the days!"

And -

"He's too short for James Bond! He could never play W07."

Same source as the 'pulley' above.



"I watched a film about British prisoners in Japan"

"Really? Was it called Bridge on the River Kwai?"

"Yes, that was it."

"That was set in Thailand."

"No, it was in Japan, there were Japanese soldiers there."

"Yes, they were in Thailand - that's part of what the war was about..."

Same source as the LED lights...
