Break in transmission
As it's been a couple of months and Canberra's not that far away, I thought I better give blog readers with an interest in radio a head's up. It gets no more complicated than me being crap at HTML tables to contain the large number of New South Wales stations there have been.

Boris Johnson, for a seeming oaf, has been both Lord Mayor of London and now Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. He's encharged with handling Brexit, a poison chalice if ever there was.
