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!

    • I know people won’t have any sympathy but the SEND challenge was brought up when taxing parents who have opted for independent school to meet a child’s SEND needs. Funding crisis is getting worse and the VAT on Education pushed children out of independent schools, now their SEND needs are to be met by the state.
    • I completely agree with you - and last night was really terrible where I am. Between midnight and 1am was the worst, where it genuinely felt like a war zone. I had to run out of my house to try and stop a grown man setting them off in open space right by our front doors. In response he went to throw a half lit one at me and then seemed to think better of it. I am so sad at how bad the situation has got here and how selfish people are. Fireworks are bad for the environment and for pets and wildlife, as well as just being unnecessary noise for people too. I have sent an email today to Helen Hayes, which I have done previously on this issue. Would advise anyone to write to your MP to do the same, and to ask them to engage with the debates scheduled for 19 Jan. 
    • And they started long before midnight!
    • First mate - I wondered if I was imagining things at 4.45 this morning . Apparently not .
