I appeared on a discussion programme in Radio Blackburn's very early days when the studio was in King St. The boss man was called Norman Turner and I was interviewed by a young Gerald Jackson. My abiding memory though, is the smell of boiling bones which pervaded the air outside the studio.It came from a factory across the road.

There are some programmes and aspects that I don't like, but all told they get the balance right. One of my favourites is a Monday & Tuesday evening programmne of nostalgic records introduced by the aforementioned Gerald Jackson.

It's been years since I used my splicer but half an hour of material used to take the best part of a day to edit, I can do it now in just over an hour.

I rarely listen to Radio Lancashire. I find there is too much music (and awful music at that!) I listen to Radio4 where music is rare. When I want music I listen to my own collection.

She was one of the people who was 'supporting cast' at that Germaine Greer appearance at the Town Hall last year. She didn't giggle then and her lecture was reasonably interesting, but I still don't want to listen to her on a regular basis.

All the local crackpots used to phone in .

I don't know but a Mr O'Rourke was a regular contributor , and a man from Blackburn who was prominent in the party that was equivalent to the present-day BNP . I think he got on Blackburn Council once , but I am not sure of it .

Fletcher Richarson certainly rings a bell .

That's the one. Frank O'Rourke was always on. John Kingsley Read was the man from Blackburn.
