Huey Morgan was excellent. Played some great music. Get the Led out was very illuminating.

you know that other radio stations/djs are available. Does your radio only have a single preset? hehe

A good point, but I generally like the music and no adverts.

Is next week half term? If so Ken Bruce will most probably be on his jollies, always seems to have the week off at half terms.

Presumably to spend time with his 15 kids (or however many he’s got now)

Radio 2 list:
Zoe Ball £1,360,000-£1,364,999
Steve Wright £475,000-£479,999
Ken Bruce £385,000-£389,999
Jeremy Vine £320,000-£324,999
Jo Whiley £280,000-£284,999
Sara Cox £275,000-£279,000

I think Sara Cox should be having a strong word with her agent.

The spare lorry at work(which I’m lumbered with for a few days this week) does indeed only get radio 2 reliably lol
