Join for a chat with Peter Martin a bit later on. If youre a golf player, or someone you know is a keen golfer then tune in to tonights programme, well be looking at something of interest to you.
I see that from the papers today and also listening to people talk; although in its third series Little Britain isnt doing so well this time around. We seem to be tiring of the same sketches and the same jokes. Its episode number four this week, the audience has dropped by a million each week so far. It could be down to as little as three or four million by Christmas. I enjoyed it when it first came out, the first series was refreshingly funny, different and it also poked fun at some of the daftness of political correctness. But I suppose as we get older and also naturally you have elderly relatives as well and you see of the things theyre making jokes about, you look at it and you think I shouldnt be laughing, but what I am actually laughing at? . So I havent enjoyed it as much either, maybe Im just a being an old prude. You views gratefully received. What do you think of Little Britain. Also dont forget to keep the answers coming in if you want to chance to g! o to Peterborough to see Paul Daniels do his pantomime, its on at Christmas. Also if you want the chance to meet Paul afterwards then: give me the first name of Paul Daniels son, who is also a magician and entertainer. Letters Thanks very much for the emails, keep them coming in, if you want to get in touch then of course you can; [EMAIL PROTECTED] This one comes from Doreen Hampshire, Will you please wish my husband Brian a very happy birthday for Wednesday 14th of December, hell be 67 thanks you very much indeed, and Brian, happy birthday to you. Fresh Fruit When you go into the supermarket you see those lovely shiny red or green apples and you think oh Ill have some apples, they look lovely, just like theyre picked fresh off the tree. In the paper this morning I see that apples are being sold in supermarkets up to a year after being harvested, can you believe that? The freshly picked fruit stocked by the large supermarkets is treated with chemical gas that stops it ripening during storage. The process allows produce to be sold two or three seasons after being harvested. I never knew that, apparently this gas is pumped either into cold rooms, where apples are being stored or into shipping containers. The ripening process resumes only when the chemical is removed, and those are the apples that were eating as freshly picked. Banks Weve all got our stories about banks, what we like and what we dont like. But one of the major banks apparently, or allegedly has removed all the clocks from its branches so that customers do not know how long they have been queuing. Thats according the The Star. The extraordinary moves comes as part of a big refurbishment of dozens of branches of a well known bank across the country. The employees said the scheme was part of an effort to stop customers complaining about how long theyve been queuing. Isnt that a great story? Joan Collins I think I mentioned this a few days ago , Joan Collins, can you believe is doing An Evening with Joan Collins, touring around the country. Shes also got with her Four Puffs and a Piano from the Jonathan Ross show. Joan will be coming to Kingslynn and Sheffield as part of her tour, and were hoping to get her on the programme. Thats all from me for today, have a very good day, join me tonight at six thirty. Bye, Peter.
