There aren't a lot of options in the Lake District: all those hills and not many people means that it's an expensive place to put transmitters. Obviously, I would normally be listening to Virgin Radio, but we don't have a transmitter in the area. I hadn't listened to Radio 1 in a long time, and had to switch over after about two minutes. It was just too shouty for me! Radio 2 had Aled Jones presenting... I lasted about two minutes on that as well. In the end, it was over to Radio 4. I enjoyed 'Just a minute' from the Edinburgh Festival and a documentary about the impact of the summer floods on food supply in the UK. Did you know, for instance, that we are likely to run out of frozen peas some time early in 2008. I don't think this information is getting the publicity it deserves. What will Berni Inns serve with their steak and chips? I was up in the Lake District on the bank holiday and spent much of the time in my hire car trying to find something decent to listen to.
