I don't know. It's from 1998 on Talk Radio UK before it became TalkSport. Talk Radio was a train wreck of a station, changing management and direction on pretty well a weekly basis. I did a few shows there myself, at 76 Oxford Street, including one or two inchoate, underproduced, late night 'phone-ins, and one bizarre gobfest on a Sunday evening with Craig Cash and Terry Christian, which must have been unlistenable, boasting at least two - possibly three - Mancunians too many.

Far be it from me to rehash old stuff, but I promised both listeners to the Radio Leeds breakfast show the favourite headline of my occasional co-presenter Jules, from her days as a journalist in Leicester. A story about a local pensioner who was victim of a street robbery, in which she was pushed to the ground as the thief grabbed her handbag was headlined in the Leicester Mercury: Melton Pensioner Injured In Snatch It made me titter, but a little too saucy for Radio Leeds listeners apparently, so we substituted it with a Manchester Evening News headline: Commuters Hit By Cancelled Trains Anyway, while we're at it, here's some more stuff about Leicester that failed to make the cut in my not-quite-best-selling book, When Will I Be Famous?
