It’s #NationalRadioDay 📻 AND 30 years ago this week, we launched the “Invicta FM Morning Zoo” with Neil Francis, me, Stuart Thomas & Kirstie Long.
It quickly became the No1 breakfast show in Kent, beating Chris Evans on R1.
Excuse the bad haircut, terrible clothes, etc.
I was only 10.

The other day I passed a #LeslieNeilsen lookalike, having his shoes cleaned in Burlington Arcade.

If you know, you know.

We hear a lot of bad news
There’s some scary, heartbreaking & tragic stories that understandably lead the news agenda
So how wonderful to have a moment to celebrate something positive and inspiring
Congratulations #Lionesses
Watching that was joyous

There’s a man on my tube train eating an entire iceberg lettuce for lunch - like it’s a sandwich.

Sorry, I had to tell someone.
