In case anybody hasn't heard this example of what some presenters will blindly read out... think it was BBC Radio Lincolnshire, their Mother's Day Request Show a couple of years back. May not be safe for work!

Foots.......send him a toblerone! *snaps fingers*

[foot-loose]

Toby just got a mention on Kerrang, just after 'Bring Your Daughter To The Slaughter'.This made me laugh

So Toby listens to kerrang and radio 2. Was he complimentary about 'bring your daughter to the slaughter'?

He was positively nutty about it.

How did you make it through newbie school? Seriously? How did you avoid getting eaten?

Foots.......send him a toblerone! *snaps fingers*

Are you referring to:

Do toblerones even have nuts in?

...?

I'm not a woolworths!

Its a good job your not a woolworths or you'd be broke. And i don't need anyone to send me a toblerone. I have had many but not in a while and i was just thinking about how they didn't actually have whole nuts in and also i dont particularly like nuts but i like toblerones which confused me a little as well

Is that [email protected]?

They're generally what you need to find a clip. Unless you're recording it yourself, obviously.

Nice of Darren Gough to confirm he's a drooling moron who can't read or talk as well.

Aled requested on today's show and on yesterday's twitter to send clips to [email protected]

I'm sure it would greatly increase the chances of you clip being played if you clipped it up yourself for him and gave a bit of info about where and when it came from.

[ededwards]

Didn't Greg do a "Greg's Best Bit of the Radio from Yesterday" or something where he played ridiculous clips from other radio stations??

He still does every day, most are brilliant however some you can tell it was a slow news day

Brilliant, either he did it on purpose or he's bloody naive

Aye, but to be fair, the Amazon "1 click" app is pretty cool. Especially for lazy sods like me.

Tesco are providing what the consumer wants, where they want it and at the price they are happiest to pay. If the others can't keep up, its not Tesco's fault.

they sell below cost on headline entertainment titles in order to drive footfall through the store. If you go to hmv to buy a game, that's all you're going to buy. If you go to tesco to do the same, you're likely to buy some food and other stuff at the same time. Hence tesco can afford to lose some money on the game itself, and make it up through the other stuff that you buy. Which is unfair business practice, as there's no way dedicated retailers can compete.

[foot-loose]

Ah, but since when was business fair?

I'm still not quite sure how this is wrong? If you're inferring that supermarkets are conning their customers into buying things they don't want, if people choose to switch their brains off when shopping, that's their look out. And if Tesco sells the DVD I want at a lower price than HMV, why am I going to pay to park in town and go to HMV to pay more to buy it, when I can park free in Tesco, buy it, and get my groceries at the same time?

It isn't "unfair business practice, as there's no way dedicated retailers can compete", its a demonstration that the needs and preferences of the consumer are moving on and the dedicated retailer has no natural place in the system any more. That's not unfair, that's evolution.

[foot-loose]

Exactly. I'm pretty sure Darwin mentioned somthing to do with Tescos.

[Yudster]

I said evolution, not evolutionism.

[foot-loose]

I'm pretty sure that Darwin said evolution as well.

[Yudster]

I'm not sure he did - he wrote of "The survival of the fittest" and "Natural selection" but I'm not sure he used the term "evolution". Mind you, I haven't read his version of it all, maybe he did.

[Gaspode_The_Wonder_Dog]

So the end game is just huge supermarkets and no specialist shops and the death of town centres.

[foot-loose]

Sounds fine to me.

[Yudster]

I don't know, but if it is it will be because that's what people have chosen.

[Gaspode_The_Wonder_Dog]

Choice is an interesting thing. I think if town centres die it will be down to expensive car parking charges and poor public transport links removing choice to a lot of people.
