Been awake most of the night (Bloody medications) and this has been headline news on all radio channels. Such a shame ....... what will become of Mornington Crescent?
86 is a good age though but the radio won't be the same without him.

Pages and pages of similar Samantha has to go now's from listeners, some of which hit the mark, some cross the line, and others leave something to be desired...

Samantha probably

I'd been really looking forward to them starting the roadshow as well now that the BBC finally allowed them to use the title.


Farewell Humph, radio isnt going to be as funny without you.  sad24:
