Roifield has not only started using a new and hopefully better platform for the podcast but he has also tempted Lucy out of her office and in front of a camera so that this week if you go to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VRSvdygGvLM&fbclid=IwAR2SG5xmUjSmWo47Ax0L6ZcjbYjTblcr6LlRD580EPkZMV34-5R5QuJzzds you can actually see the star of the show and her weekly (and as Roifield pointed out later high speed) discourse on events in Ambridge. Go there and you will find DumTeeDum TV and of course in future we will all be saying “Hello You Tubers”, which is not an unpleasant root vegetable.
Callers have two main subjects this week. Philip and Kirsty who (along with with the Welsh Pat or the Welsh Nocasha) did not mention Dydd Santes Dwynwen – which as everyone knows is far more important than Burns Night; why are the Scots and Welsh doing all this celebrating on 25 January? And Kirsty is apparently wearing flip flops around the village as she changes her mind every time Helen talks to her. Not a sound basis for any decision I would suggest.
The other subject was the road trip by Rag, Tag and Bobtail where the excellent events on the outward journey were (as far as I am concerned) ruined by yet more soap opera rubbish about Jim’s history. During the podcast Roifield asked if I could remember three males with such close friendship previously. My answer is in the negative because during the editorship of Vanessa Whitburn the female contingent were predominant – and that had strong female pairings – Shula and Caroline, Ruth and Usha, Clarrie and Susan plus Pat and Kathy. No long standing trios that I can recall. Neil and Jethro, later Neil and Bert were nice double acts on the male side.
