Recently on my holidays I have been listenting to some late night radio on BBC London. The Presenter Big George is a very good radio host. Well worth checking out. Between 12am - 6am. Here's a segment I found on you tube, which was nicely done.

Really...


Personally, I feel ( don't you love that get out clause ) it's rather like listening to a cement mixer with a loose brick in it


He churns & clanks his subjects, whilst huffing & blowing into the mike


All this, then an interlude of "musical cardboard" on 94.9FM



Thankfully I don't get to tune in unless I'm working late



Lastly, I bet he eats & talks at the same time ( to top it off )



Still, horses for courses



W**F

Not trying to say he doesn't. Define what you mean by rubbish music? Surely you don't listen to him because he might play music you approve of? It's a talk show. Why not email him and ask why he plays what he does? There is a reasonably large choice on the BBC London playlist. He also plays stuff sent in to him if he likes it. And he will often have the artist(s) in the studio if he likes them.

Jeez guys - why so defensive about BG?


I don't have to email him - I had a chat with him about it when I was in the studio. BBC London have a teeeny-tiny playlist (think Lifting by Lighthouse family and maybe about 3 other tracks that Radio Luxembourg would have thought safe in 1981) which they enforce on their presenters during certain hours of the day. He seemed about as happy with this as I did as a listener.


as for the guy himself he seems nice enough, and interesting to boot, but I wouldn't say I'm a fan


Is this so heinous?

    • Another recommendation for Dulwich Test and Services Centre. Only been using them for a couple of years but wish I’d found them earlier 
    • A new roadmap (surely railmap?!) for rail accessibility has been published: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/accessible-railways-roadmap It says "approximately 56% of stations and around 66% of the 1.3 billion journeys that take place on the network have step-free access to platforms...  "£373 million has been committed over the next 5 years to deliver Access for All projects, providing step-free access from station entrances to and between platforms, alongside other essential accessibility upgrades. These works, together, will increase the number of step-free stations across Great Britain from 56% to 58%. "This improvement will make travel easier with step-free access available at stations covering an increased share of total rail journeys – from 66% up to 71%" Don't know what that means for us here: upgrading Peckham Rye would cover a lot of rail journeys but the cost has no doubt increased from the £40m figure previously quoted. So that would eat into a lot of the funding.
