Was quite sleepy when I heard them talking about the half price petrol. Was almost tempted to ring up on my missus behalf. Thank god I'm too lazy though.

It took me about 20 seconds to get the gag while very sleepy. These idiots have no excuse and deserve to have their humiliation broadcast.

I like the guy who swore at them.

Since when has Bedford been in East Anglia? Dave should stick to maths.

Ha, it depends who you listen to though as to where the boundaries are. I think Bedford are in East Anglia according to the BBC? I'm not sure - Milton Keynes certainly is and I don't think we are.

Buckinghamshire is very definitely NOT in East Anglia. East Anglia is Essex, Suffolk, Norfolk and Cambridgeshire. And some people wouldn't put Cambridgeshire in there either. People who include Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire in East Anglia are simply wrong. They are also stupid.

People who live in Sheffield think that just because they are in Yorkshire they are in the north. Silly people. If you want to seriously upset a Sheffield Native, refer to the region as "South Yorkshire" and say "Well, its pretty much the Midlands here really......". They really hate that.

My favourite one this year has to be Waitrose's advert for Pinanas, if you get hold of a copy of the Metro (may be the London one only, don't know TBH) have a look on Page 6

Surprising how many people fell for it, its obvious no one is going to get half price fuel in this day and age (5p per litre is the largest reduction I have ever seen)... Now to listen again to catch the rest of the show.

Bedford gets classed in so many different areas, depending on where you look. Some said East Anglia, some say Midlands, some say East and I swear I've even seen South East before. We get BBC Look East and ITV Anglia. We're probably the most westerley part of the Anglian region.

No you're not. Because Bedfordshire isn't in East Anglia.

Haha, touche. OK, the most westerley part that is considered by some to be part of the Anglian region :)

It may be considered thus by some, but they are wrong. And stupid.

Are you sensing a pattern here?!

Pattern = anyone who disagrees with Yuds is stupid.

Nice and simple. And surprisingly accurate from what I've seen.

Licky licky brown nose award... if I hadn't added the word "surprisingly"...

Oh there'll be complaints from Daily Mail readers about it soon enough.

Question - I didnt hear the specific bit of the show, just the trail later and read the running order - was the bit about Chris's ex girlfriend being the person they're movng studio's at MK another April Fool? I know he worked there but wasn't sure if they'd managed to think that 1 up

No - he went out with a woman called Helen - I think it was Helen Leigh who (after Chris left Horizon) used to present the morning show on Horizon with Trevor Marshall. I'm pretty sure all that's right, but he definitely had a girlfriend there.

Ah ok, thought they might've made it up that it was her they were moving. Worth a listen again?
