A curiosity about this week's show (which I'm told is very popular in America): If you use the podcast or download, a section of the show has been censored. If you go to the website and listen to the radio player it's still there. As I downloaded the former, out of curiosity, I listened to the latter and the deleted section was just a harmless bit about the Archers. Something was said about copyright material, but there doesn't seem to be any. What goes on?

There's nothing harmless about the Archers, come the revolution they'll be lined up against the wall alongside the cast of Eastenders, Neighbours etc

We can keep Hollyoaks though? Oh please!

The casting director is obviously male! Never before has one place had so many stunningly attractive females and at the same time some of the ugliest men!

I'd forgotten about that, and there's Emmerdale too

Ha! Parts of Emmerdale are filmed in my village, and when the luvvies and 2,000 assistants come, they think they own the place. I had the greatest pleasure in getting them cautioned for impersonating a police officer and obstructing the highway. I also enjoyed refusing to move from the bar of the pub, so that they could shoot a scene.
When they blocked my entrance and were plain bloody rude, I also had the greatest pleasure in having them carpeted by Yorkshire Television for upsetting the Chairman of the area's leading ad. agency!
I'm just a grumpy old man; bring back Crossroads, I say!

LOL

You're enjoying retirement then?

Yep! Off for the day job again on friday, four days hard labour on Snowdon, and the most rewarding thing I've done in yeara.
