I have travelled in China, and while they are taking extraordinary forward steps with technology and their infrastructure, the pollution was so bad in places like Chongqing or Xian that you couldn't clearly see the buildings on the other side of the river. It will get better but they ain't there yet

So true! Charity shops over here have wised up and not always for the best. A record that might be worth something is usually priced at Mint when it looks like it has been trampled by elephants.

For anyone in the UK, if you can't make a show for whatever reason, use the Ticketswap app. You can't list your tickets for more than the original advertised price and a fan can see the show. You get your money back (or most of it) and everyone wins.

I listened to the first two episodes this morning and enjoyed them thoroughly. It also made me think the battery in my smoke alarm needs replacing.

I'll have one!
