A varied background. But when BBC Local Radio was substantially cut a year or two ago he presented the 7pm show across the BBC Local Radio network. He was therefore the chosen voice for BBC Local Radio being the absolute opposite of its remit and name. I listened to a fair bit of it to decide what I felt. He would have been suitable for BBC R1 in the mid 1980s.

I hear she went into the Pot-Pourri business.

I thought that was what Ian Paisley was so opposed to?
