Funnily enough, it's seems quite good at tracking down online copies of obscure historical science & technology PDFs that can't be found using Google searches.

As they say, YMMV. My partner uses them all the time, an she has no issues. I tried them recently, and discovered that they worked fine on the barriers in Huddersfield, but the Leeds barriers didn't seem to like my phone/screen. Staff had to let me through.

Oooh. Controversial. But having watched the Oldham/Rochdale loop being converted to tram, I think it could work quite well. The halts at Milnsbridge and Golcar could be reintroduced too.

However, since "The incident prompted three listener complaints to Ofcom", how many listeners does the station actually have? It suggests the real impact was quite low, and the owners of the station were more upset than most of the listeners (who probably just laughed and swapped stations).

The spitting image puppeteers certainly give Pads far more life than the poor kid in the bear suit (with animatronic mouth) on the BBC video clip. It seems natural, now, that he should talk with a (cod) Peruvian accent. After all, where would he have learned to speak RP?
