Why are you spelling his name "Neal"?
Morning,
Any sign of spring ? Don't see much evidence of it from my window.
Anywhow I was glancing at the other forum to see various recent comments.
Neal G of course has pounced on the fact that Radio Caroline and Steve Jenner are no longer an item. This is a private matter, not discussion fodder for the hunched keyboard warriors. Fortunately many have stepped in to shut Neal down. He will of course continue regardless.
Now that we have fixed the Harris ( for now ) and part enhanced the 648 audio, the comments on that are veering towards the positive. The workers should be congratulated for labouring for two days at a temperature of 1 degree.
Now I see they are asking why the vestiges of what was once Big L are not on small scale DAB. it is a feature of the Garry board that they concoct a question and then discuss it with each other. Why don't they just ask the person/persons concerned and then they will know. Of course this would close the chance of pointless speculation,
It is what I call a ' Mike Simmonds ' question along the lines of ' If Peter Moore had a cat, what would it be called ?'. Neal would at once say that I was not a fit person to own a cat or that it was a fake cat. Others would become cat experts commenting on diet and grooming.
Mike by the way has crossed a line. Pronouns are a hot topic just now. When talking about Radio Caroline he uses the term ' we ', As in ' when we get 10KW ', He is misgendering of course and must revert to ' they '.
So finally I get to the matter of Big L. Why are they not on small scale DAB. Answer 'dunno'. Subject closed.
It is very easy to get a DAB licence, just apply to Ofcom and pay a modest fee. We were invited to join an SS DAB for Clacton. That would be an ideal area. Then they would need say £2000 per annum and then get captured by PRS/PPL and and. Maybe the view is to leave well alone.
But I was put in mind by one comment of when many years ago some ' bright young things ' in TV invited Caroline to be in a programme where Harvey Goldsmith turned around a struggling radio station.
The prospect seemed appealing but then I thought that if Harvey suggested things to me and I did them and that we got on like a house on fire, it would not make exciting TV. The programme makers wanted confrontation. So I declined and the TV people were astonished that I should shun an hour of free publicity, Big L took up the opportunity and the TV guys took hundreds of hours of footage and chose an hours worth to show BIG L in the worst possible light.
Phew, I think I dodged a bullet there.
PM.
