It has taken me over six hours to get from London to Stroud. The rail companies in this country are a total disgrace.
“Some viewers might find this report distressing.” On #bbcnewschannel - who do you think your presenter is talking to? They should be talking to ONE PERSON. It’s simple - “YOU might find this report distressing”. Do you never get any management feedback? @vgeller @DavidLloydRADIO
At least with the BBC not putting anyone up to respond re local radio changes on today's @BBCR4Feedback, we were spared the usual patronising nonsense. There is a statement though. bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0…
@TheSpurrShow This has made my morning. Heard it in your voice and everything.
Why do you refer to your ‘rehearsals’ every five minutes? The whole point of them is to create a show which appears to be spontaneous. And also, it’s not ‘all of you’, it’s ‘you’. Talk to ONE person. @SaturdayKitchen @matt_tebbutt
Making change is never popular nor easy. But when listeners, MPs, staff at large and 93% of union members all indicate they have no confidence in your actions - and the regulator’s written a terse letter, it must be time to pause. You are a public servant. Who are you serving?
@TheSpurrShow played it on Tuesday Great lyrics
I called my GP surgery at ONE SECOND past 8am this morning and was in ‘queue position 18’. How can this be allowed to go on?
Bronski Beat - Smalltown Boy. What a great track that was. You never hear it on the radio these days.
The usual abysmally awful service from @EastMidRailway at St Pancras today …
I’m always puzzled by anyone who insists on saying when their show ends. It’s a very peculiar thing to do. When I arrive at my next party, I’ll try announcing my departure time.

Such sad quotes in my DMs from loyal, decent presenters: ‘heartbreaking’; ‘I’ve had enough of being messed about’, ‘I have no faith in the direction’. “sticking up for older listeners is now career limiting”. And interesting compliance questions on the hours quotas.

Massive thanks to the excellent @British_Airways crew this morning at Heathrow when my phone got lodged in the seat/bed workings! In the end, and after twenty minutes of admirable efforts, Captain Nick Lister extricated it with a pair of adapted plastic bread tongs.

@TheSpurrShow enjoy Bologna it’s an amazing city. Famous for the tasty Mortadella ham and it’s 2 towers one of which is leaning. Ciao 🇮🇹
@TheSpurrShow Safe travels back to Nottingham Richard. Thanks for another great week of shows. You are my favourite presenter, so warm, the 3-4am hour is my fave. Happy Easter, and please ride on the TorvillandDean tram for me! Hope you get a chocolate egg from your partner.🐣🐰
@TheSpurrShow @LBC Great show, amazing callers tonight. Skilfully handled 👏
@TheSpurrShow @LBC It's from the 1st letter of St Paul to the Corinthians 13:11 When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things
Stunning morning looking down towards the Trent. Light makes it look like an oil painting. #Nottinghamshire
@LBC @TheSpurrShow Greetings from the coast of Maine US. The affects you mentioned were definitely Valley Girls era. A plague on the language. Also, the up tone end of sentences 🔥, although they do it in N Europe a bit. Forget “there are;” no one says it 🔥. Stop me now.
@TheSpurrShow you were absolutely perfect in the wee small hours on @LBC today. I couldn’t sleep as it was anniv of my Dad’s death and you made me smile - laugh even. Thank you 🙏🏻

When I started in commercial radio in 1980, Radio Trent was a formidable place. All my idols. I was out of my depth. Programme secretary Jean Hook was my anchor. A breath of normality. She gave radio divas short shrift. She’s now 97. Thank you, Jean
@TheSpurrShow Enjoyed hearing you in yesterday's show talk about Bowie's appearance on Extras. Very special memory for me, as it's me you hear playing the piano for that scene/song..! theguardian.com/music/shortcut…
Top-shelf caller indeed Adam from Luton @TheSpurrShow. Incredibly articulate, wise and honest. Late night @LBC radio wins again ! 👏🏾👌🏾
15 July was a special day: 49 years since Metro Radio launched. I wonder if #bauer will celebrate the 50th? I joined in June'74 to do the morning show. In '75 I was voted No.1 Metro DJ but in '76 a Canadian consultant arrived; a good time to move on to 17 years on Trent & GEM!
At least with the BBC not putting anyone up to respond re local radio changes on today's @BBCR4Feedback, we were spared the usual patronising nonsense. There is a statement though. bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0…
@TheSpurrShow This has made my morning. Heard it in your voice and everything.
The BBC Director of Nations told me the network is targeted at ‘the elderly’! Staff laugh when I mention that, given what they’re told. It suggests he has no idea about the stations for which he’s responsible.
@TheSpurrShow Hi Richard, thanks for having me on the show this morning. I have a book recommendation that l think you will find interesting. It sort of relates to mental health/anxiety.It's called; Quiet! The powers introverts in a world that doesn't stop talking, by Susan Caan.
Move into my new teaching rooms getting there: half my books still to arrive and mirrors, pictures and curtains need putting up. But probably where I will happily spend the last 18 years of my career…
