DLT Train Captains

A PSA (Passenger Service Agent) has to be present on every DLR Train in service to deal with on board operations (such as the doors, as Q8 has already pointed out) plus drive the Train in manual in the event of an ATO failure.

I too was expecting this thread to about him ;D ;D ;D ;D

I'm glad you corrected that, thought I was going mad there. That, and the title referring to the hairy cormnflake. ;D

I still have a radio in the shed which has the little stickers stuck on the dial so you could quickly tune to whichever BBC Radio Station you wanted.

Quack quack oops

I used to quite like Radio 1 before it became the parcel of brown stuff it is today, although that's maybe just my age!

I can remember Simon Bates resigning live on air, and I admit that I also went to a R1 Roadshow at Whitley Bay many years ago! ;D
(Always had a thing about live radio, and I was more interested in the technical side of it than I was for the actual roadshow!)

Ah yes, Our Tune!!

I worked for a while in a warehouse with a load of other hairy-arsed blokes, and the whole job would grind to a halt so we could all listen to 'Our Tune'!
The management knew better than to try and ring the warehouse during this time of the morning! ;D

I admit to remembering all of the above. However, most of my memories are around the time I was in the last year or two of school. Never went to a roadshow (but did see them packing up after one in the Lake District once).

Mike Read was our entertainment before school (when there was no breakfast television).

Steve Wright in the afternoon was a favourite of mine, listening to it while helping a friend strip down his motorbikes (and sometimes successfully remembering which way they went back together.

It was always sunny and warm back then ;D

^{Is this a record for drifting off-thread - I suppose not as we are still (technically) related to the thread title ;D}
