No way am I going to stop listening to Radio 4, its on all day, and the only thing that keeps me sane during the long, long days of childcare when I beg just to hear the voice of somebody who is not screaming at me insanely/wailing for one reason or another (other than during the Today prog, obv).

Oh dear it's a bit of a reversed stance from me (Radio 1 by the way - my OH hates it ). I can't help making up rude versions of the children's TV tunes.


I have a wicked set of lyrics for 64 Zoo Lane!


But as our nearly-3 year old's favourite saying is 'for f**k's sake the pooter's broken again', I think we're down for a parenting prize anyhow. (My husband's fault - honest!)

R4 is fine. Mine have been listening all along and they just tune in and out - mostly out. The 9 yr old suddenly tuned in this morning when David Cameron said he was moving into No 10 today and wanted to know why he wasn't at home packing.

Katgod, I cant stop giggling about "these socks are on fire" wish id thought of that! I generally do a bit of a combination of XFM and BBC london now and can generally switch the radio in the car down quite quickly if i think there is going to disturbing news item.


After a particuarly difficult incident trying to get my car up a very steep hill in Cornwall, where my language was really rather foul ( In my defence I had spent 30 mins not being able to get past the bend in the road,) I pulled over to apologise to my daughter who was 8 at that point. I also did the speech about how sometimes adults are silly under pressure and chose the wrong words but she MUST NEVER use the words at which point she gave me a little smile and told me not to worry as daddy uses those words and worse all the time when he is driving and she knew not to say them !

In the car yesterday I was recounting this thread to my OH. I agree, some of the lyrics on the radio now are quite shocking (although I also agree I had some shockers in my youth too. And just as we were talking, Frankie's 'Relax' came up on the ipod! That was completely banned in the 80's, but listening to it now I've got no clue why...

I seriously..


..had to "revise" my creative use of language when..


my 3 year old would pipe up " bloody idiot/silly f'in cow " if I "beeped" the horn on my car



( though having "Capitol Radio" on is far, far worse ;-) IMHO )

    • Thank You ‘Nanny 69’ for this recommendation for Omar. He has just completed some plaster repair work at our home, and his attention to detail is excellent, and to a high professional standard. Highly Recommended 
    • I had a breech birth baby in 1984 in faraday ward. I had a male midwife deliver my baby. Does anyone remember him? 
    • As with Brexit, everyone who votes for Reform isn't a racist, but I'm confident in saying that the vast majority of racists will vote for Reform, like they did with Brexit. So, anyone who considers themselves as non-racist but is considering or will vote for Reform, needs to ask themselves why is that the case? Why do you never hear Reform promoting equality/anti-racism? Instead, Farage is now copying Trump with anti-DEI (Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion) rhetoric. It can't be any clearer where Reform stands when it comes to such issues...        
    • It was lucky nobody was on the bridge beneath the tree when it fell. It's hard to see, but it doesn't look like a whole tree, but a branch? Or else it's a relatively thin trunk? What seems to be the point where the branch (?) joined the tree - or else the point where the whole tree broke off - (on the bottom left of the picture) looks like quite a clean break. It couldn't have been deliberate, could it? Or has someone trimmed it after it fell? It's hard to see how this could have happened accidentally. It has been a bit windy, but surely not enough to cause this. Shouldn't there have been a risk assessment when the bridge was built, to include assessing the risk of nearby trees falling?
