I was rubbish at those questions.
Just looking at Facebook, BBC Newcastle - Radio for the North East. Lots of people mentioning how much they miss The Blue Bus and Paul & Ian. Jonathan Miles suddenly moving from the mid morning slot to a weekly show has stirred up skulduggery theories.
I doubt I will ever understand the thinking behind any decisions the BBC makes.
I'm not on Facebook so all this is news to me. Are people STILL talking about the Blue Bus? After all this time?? Maybe I should expect a call from the BBC some time soon.
Not.
Yes Paul and Ian are very fondly missed by more people than you realise!
I dipped my toe into Facebook a couple of years ago to see a friend's wedding photos. I've resisted adding too many 'friends' as it can be very time consuming reading their posts as well as posts by organisations you 'like' - such as radio stations, newspapers, the Sage, Northern Sinfonia, TV shows, campaigns for change [eg No More Page 3] etc etc. It can be useful but not essential!
Maybe I'll give it another try, Val :-)
