Is this the shortest ever? John Marsh was back on the radio today reading the news, one month after leaving to retire. Did Janet kick him out? Laughing

He has only semi retired, it was said at the time that he will be returning from time to time. He will be coming in every 6 weeks with Charles Nove filing in where he would have been.

He's just come back from Maritius so that pension pay off must have been good Laughing

It's good to have Johnny back, allbeit occasionally. I hope Terry is in a better state to get through Thursday's J&J story. He struggled manfully this morning.

Terry's feeling a bit under the weather at the moment, he's been struggling for a few days.

Lovely to hear John back, he has such an infectious giggle Laughing It was a funny story this morning, the writer is very clever. Laughing

That used to be so, but presumably Lynn is doing the travel at that time now, so unless Boggy comes in especially to be insulted at that time.......... Laughing Laughing Laughing
