Like many we got the green future of lightbulbs through the post this week. The 11 Watt and 14 Watt light bulb each guaranteed for 10 years. At around a tenth of the cost for electricity useage they're a boon because they'll save us so much money. So much so, the electricity providers are having to increase their charges. Another little game we like to play here is 'Spot The Energy Efficient Light Bulb' - so far we've seen plenty of these planet saving inventions for sale but we've yet to spot even one shop using them. Now then who'd like some junk mail?
Radio One Roadshow Did you hear Chris Moyles bring back the Radio One Roadshow? Broadcast live from Newquay, the venue for the very first of this now redundant legendary radio series when it launched in July 1973 with Alan 'Fluff' Freeman. Even more amazing to hear that non pc feature of the past 'Bits & Pieces' at 4.45 on a Friday afternoon. Of course Radio One didn't use that name or their old Dave Clark 5 jingle but 'Bits & Pieces' it was, ten of them charts an' oldies - artist and title a point for each. In the mid 90's Radio One went through the radio equivalent of the burning of the books. Seemingly embarrassed at it's 25 year heritage, when it's target audience was half that age, it seemed the then Beeb bosses were intent on re-writing Radio 1's history without DLT or Smashie & Nicey and in particular the sixteen year veteren Simon Bates. Well here we are in another century and Radio One kind of has a similar problem except it's a bit different. Radio One's sixteen year veteren in 2008 is on maternity leave. Again. Hard to believe it, but Jo Whiley has been at the station since 1992. Congratulations Jo, time is such a healer. DJ links come and go but I'll always remember Jo's first link on daytime Radio One ... "Hi I'm Jo Whiley, I presume you know who you are!" I bet that line did not come from Simon Mayo's script-writer. America's Hot 100 This Week ... Last Week ... Artist ...
