  Computers, don't you just love them? Let's retire and relax... Hah, a chance would be a fine thing! Stress, avoid it at all costs! Last but not least, small houses in Britain. We live in a box!

  What have you lost during a relationship break-up? A house? A car? That's something I might talk about next Sunday. Trespassing in the woods, fishing, politics... no, not politics! Stone the crows! Join me for a chat about this and that.

  Car salesmen, Hi-Fi equipment, it was all about the bass in the 1960s!

  Car salesmen, transistor radios in the good old days, Hi-Fi equipment… do youngsters today know what quality audio sounds like? It’s all about the bass! The 1950s and 60s when teenagers wanted a TV in their bedroom, a transistor radio and a record player. These days, they want the latest iPhone.  How sad. Join me for a good old chat.

  Crittal windows were all the thing in the1950s. Then, double glazing came along with pushy salesmen entering our homes. Want to buy a fridge or a dishwasher these days? What a palaver! It was so easy back in the good old days. In this episode, I have a good old moan and rant! Join me, if you dare!

  Do you find yourself making excuses when someone invites you out, say, to a certain restaurant you don’t like? Or are you the type who’s upfront and simply says it’s not your scene? Sometimes, a small white lie feels like the polite way out... but is it really the best choice?
