Hi Harry - it would make me feel very guilty to hijack Ali's thread, otherwise I would tell you that we are thriving in Shropshire.
I might also explain for those who don't know that we always consider the studio looks a bit utilitarian on the webcam without some embellishment.
Last night you would have seen Genevieve dancing in her greenwood bower.
After Warwick festival, having had no time at home for domestic chores, you would have seen me doing the ironing.
A couple of weeks ago we filled the studio with many and various hats.
Alan Surtees of Bridgnorth Festival took a fancy to the pith helmet. (He would have taken it home but we told him not to take the pith).
But since this is a thread about a wonderful new show in Manchester, all that will have to remain unsaid...
...especially the bad joke.

PS - we have no objection to you recording the show on a Sunday to listen to in the week - but you wouldn't have much luck in the phone-in competitions.

PPS - who is John?
