The narrative about London crime is truly so BORING to Londoners.

Those of us who walk & travel around our city safely every day, every night.

The likeliest daily risk to Londoners is of being ripped off by our landlord or somewhere charging us Β£4.50 for a coffee. #r4today

A Government of cowards.

Rather than tackle inequality - they've gone for pensioners, disabled people and now it's people fleeing war and persecution.

They can't get away with this.

It's amazing how much of a difference the congestion charge in Oxford has made. The roads are much quieter, it's so easy driving around the city centre now and being able to keep to time. My job has become less stressful.

Could a tour poster for an artist you’ve never heard of ever make you go to a gig without listening to their music before?

I remember the interview well. @brucey0ne.bsky.social hit us with the big question.. if you could replace your arm with kitchen implement what would it be?

Turned out I'd been recommended by @davegilyeat.bsky.social to be the track of the week and @brucey0ne.bsky.social played it. Which was a real blast from the past. Sophie interview my old band back in 2009 on 107.9fm...

This has really made my day! Thank you both.

Well today was a fun one. Woke up late after a very late gig last night in London and had an email from the guy who fitted the carpet in my studio telling me he just heard me on BBC Radio Oxford.

I asked a couple of questions and he said 8.45am on his way to work, off I went to BBC Sounds.

I’m now older than John Lennon was when he was shot dead.
