The Voice of Americans in Nunhead

Recommended Posts

Our chums over on the Nunhead forum are getting all excited about this.


(I can tell they're excited. you know, there are three whole posts on the thread!)


It's a programme by Americans in Nunhead, for other Americans in Nunhead, for non- Americans in Nunhead, and even possibly of interest to non Americans not living in Nunhead. It's on Resonance 104.4 at half past ten of a Monday evening.


Now this programme has been what you might call an Education to me and my Lawrence (not, unfortunately, to Mr Buttons. He doesn't trust the radio since Lord Haw Haw and will only make an exception to listen to The Organist Entertains on Radio 2, and sometimes I do catch him having a sneaky listen to the Craig Charles funk and soul show over on radio 6 digicle.) Anyways myself and Lawrence, if we ever saw an American in Nunhead before we heard this show, well, we'd shove them straight on the 78 and tell them "Tower Hill's thataway, pardner!".


Well, now we know, some of them actually live here, would you believe! Real ones!


And if anyone doesn't listen to Resonance, well, I can heartily recommend it. At first I only listened to my pals on Calling All Pensioners, but now I listen to lots. Some of it is a bit avon guard for my tastes- you know, whole programmes that sound like a mobile phone ringing you from someone's trouser pocket. Dear me, I can't get on with that. I'm in me 70s! But some of the rest is smashing, specially the Make Your Own D--n Music Show with Bob and Roberta Smith.


He's really good, but she's a bit quiet. Probably can't get a word in edgeways, poor love!


(Mr Buttons is looking over me shoulder to check me spellins. he says he knows how she feels- the sauce!)


ttfn!

    • Hi, I have a few filled and empty sharps bins to dispose of. My GP has filled out a form for the council and they've come to us while we were away, left two large sharps bins and no instructions. Would any of you know what to do? In the meantime I've gained another two empty sharps bins to add to my collection... Many thanks
    • I asked the same question in this forum a few months ago, as my wife wanted to learn to drive but was quite nervous after having had sessions with someone very stressful.  The recommendation we saw most often was Silvano, which she's been very happy with and who has helped her build her confidence. You can read more recommendations for him here   
    • door to door selling has been around for years. It is not illegal. 
    • They are not from 'rehabilitation schemes'. There are no such schemes that sell door-to-door. I have checked this myself with the probation services and been told by them that it's a scam. Trading Standards say: “Don’t deal with cold callers. Full stop. At the most innocent, they’re selling overpriced goods. At the more sinister end, they're assessing the potential for more serious crimes". It wouldn't hurt to report to the non-emergency number, 101. As Sandyman says, the police may use the information to direct future resources.
