Ali will, no doubt, be reporting to you all soon, but please be patient. Whilst we were on air, her father had a fall and was rushed to hospital, and has a broken hip. She went to the hospital straight from the studios, so posting to Mudcat isn't exactly high on her list of priorites right now.

Thanks, everyone, for all your messages of support whilst we were on air, it gave us a warm feeling knowing so many of you were out there.

Clogger, if you (or anyone else) wants a copy of the last broadcast, send a stamped addressed jiffy bag to me and I'll post a copy out to you on CD. The 140mm x 195mm size is right for a CD in a plastic wallet, and only costs the same to post as an ordinary letter (Mainland UK).

Alternatively, post an empty memory card (I can handle any type) of 64Mb or greater, and I'll send it back with the programme in MP3 format. At 53Mb it would be too much to email...

The end of an era...
