Radio London thank you for choosing Austin I wherever you might be in this great big city of ours good to know you found London's original radio station I'm Duncan I'm here Sunday through Thursday every night from 10 pm What are we talking about while the viewer heard the news early on we played Buzzcocks track a live recording of ever falling in love you could you feel the energy coming through the radio the news you heard that the front man of the Buzzcocks Pete Shelley has died aged 63 and I'm minded just to mention if you've ever seen the Buzzcocks live never met Pete Shelley to give us a call tonight because from time to time ever I ask these questions about maybe people who have passed away we get some cracking calls and some inside they really when they expect so anything Pete Shelley related do get on the phone elsewhere 20 feet 20 mph speed limits in a city of ours in London do they really make the road safer and Should councils in for speed limits instead of the Met police that is what's being suggested and discussed as we speak the idea that the Met do not have the time or the resources and as a result maybe local councils should enforce speed limits particular these 20 mile per hour limits I don't know you know I drive all over the city of Oz and some bars have the 20 limit others don't are they effective Do they work. Is it too early to say that people are here to the 20 limits 080731 the 2000 many calls tonight about the disruption to the road to network you heard about it on the news there 25000000 owed to customers and they also provide services for the sky Tesco gift gaff and the like a mobile networks who combined have another 7000000 users and tonight we're getting suppose a mixed picture some of you are able to use your O 2 phone to make calls and send and receive text messages or no I am some of you there not being able to make phone calls others have told us not been able to access data services as negatively impacted on them today and I want to find out more from you Can anyone help me out I've got I've gone though to phone and it's call is gone while call B.B.C.

And the wider the why the chatter around this tonight is whether or not life was simpler when there wasn't so much technology because I've been so struck today with the people I've spoken to who are seen on the telly I've heard on the radio who are so reliant on technology Well just to get work through various apps drivers being a notable example I suspect there are quite a few laughing black cab drivers in our city tonight but also I've heard people complain that they are worried about getting lost going home for work because they didn't know why and normally they got on their phone and I can imagine that mindset can you do you would let yourself be so reliant on a bit of technology that you don't know how to move around London without a particularly a journey that you're doing on a daily basis I had someone saying or use the street maps to walk around town thinking really really we become too reliant on the tech over 807312000 what do you eat at Christmas that is not traditional not traditional as restaurants across the city are doing some interesting things on the menu my favorite one is mince pie naan bread. An Indian restaurant somewhere. Whether putting dried fruits and nuts and spices in the in the flat bread and the calling of the means by non brother pretty much does the job the winner so far is always you go on always disappeared off my screen Barton Basil then who works on Christmas Day and he takes to work a chicken curry pork noodle What do you eat a Christmas that is not traditional All of that going on call text or e-mail be part of London's late night radio phone in and also get involved in our song choice tonight cover songs with a connection you get a blast of each you need to let us your or let us know your preference out there too and the one with the most support gets played in its entirety at the end of this hour now there's a reason for tonight's song choice it is all to do with the devil the devil and before you start sending us messages saying it's irresponsible then why are you promoting the devil we are not promoting the devil it's all to do with yesterday being the 50th anniversary of the release of the Rolling Stones hit sympathy for the Devil or I although I don't want to come back into work on Sunday I have emails saying very irresponsible talking about the devil is a good reason for this Rolling Stone said Sympathy For The Devil released yesterday 50 years ago so with that in mind 2 songs with the word devil in the title including the stones here you got a clip of each and you need to let us know your preference is number one.

Radio London Nigel Good morning good morning I'm not the biggest ever you go to number 2 number to thank you. On the border with Iraq on the boat he everyone in technology I wouldn't say I'm a slave to it but it's particularly important in Milan that work in the ninety's only had 3 phones in the car. In case one like whiskers didn't you know a drug dealer all you know if you know that. It's a race with 3 who question wanna know my friend phones and you call you do a lot driving at night it's a pretty fair assumption for sure only ones on any one time is the case because. When we had the the some of the terrible. Before you know sometimes the centers of London please shut shut down several networks or they get very very congested the time is coming your call will receive a call this a day as I mean that that is right is now a member 77 and literally you can do anything if your phones because the networks all of the networks the mass of the I will subscribe when I absolutely have some of these are not the same because I have my 5 devices which is which is like a mobile is in your pocket instead of a U.S.B. Plug and it's like as a small. Describes it it's a size of suppose full of the pack attention you know the smoke was sort of so much of. The Internet. Life could not connect not have voted on to never as well because transmit pictures and to receive and send other data is easily it's particularly important they didn't leave it off when you said that they would to be on their way home I mean now how can you know phone enjoy a home how do you have I mean I still keep in my car a bill I haven't even I looked at about 10 years a monster out of London. I don't remember when I 1st got there wasn't any of the side of a G.P.S. So I learned my knowledge of driving around London but it was a square for a 48. You know that. Well I still got mild battered talking solid state is that when I 1st started working in the city before I left it for a bit you know fits in a pocket and I'll still go there on the book shelf is my Molly battered and it's called Borrow circles in their places on the to get to but the thing is without what you do is you learn a new thing or I get to this tube station a comment on a guy with a cigarette in the coffee and I turn off to turn right in actually because you've done a you tend to remember you know you don't get that if you listen to some device telling us towards All right so when I started driving up the big. This is a big blue bound book. Because I foresaw. And it was remark We'll show you remember. DO WE WANT TO THE go on whatever played it was never went to the next page it was pages or a little further back. You saying. London by looking at that book Imam remembering it's remembering landmarks remembering different places and of course you can never get out there to a new book to those. You can see certain pages by the book so I think you know I want to do a lot of love to get hold of a really old data set on the how far back they could be interesting to look at and I presented in the fifty's I mean whether it is as a few movies I know whether or not it is very interesting about that because it is still there but I'm sure some will will read it and say there isn't the insulators it or not shop near the. Just of Victoria Street I know why you all yet yeah that's it so there's a shop that had everything I bought many many many years ago. A laminated Giant Woman Yeah. And you know. That's a safety issue so. Find match about for night you know he also got a few in the boot Yeah actually given that whether you know about to put it out into an Iraqi about the disputed of the ring bind side of as opposed to something that was glued into the kind of spine or indeed the staple as you can easily read it whilst driving where these are blooming are you 3 things you have to follow whether a pain in the backside if you got on the passenger seat you can probably cause the folds in the wrong place you know which Turning to take a call to say medical is or sits on the floor then in. Some of them even a little bit 20 mph limits in London do they work and who should enforce them. Well that's a great I don't mean. To think that they should be forced out of schools and schools are open but I think this is this is going to be ready the wonderful cash cow like parking it's a bargain I remember years ago and at least inform in for Sparky when it went to local authorities you know they all they're saying is this in 2 things. Or imports camera system across London you shake it in hundreds and hundreds of. Millions of. Flame cameras and other books and. You make a good point actually all recognize the biggest hurdle to overcome which is convince people who counsels take all enfolding speed limits instead of the police not doing it just because it's an opportunity to make a few quid because I can understand whilst why why the cynical amongst us may well reach that conclusion Nigel thank you have a good night. For . Me. Where. Her. Mother is. See. You. Still. See. The street. Is. Good. Good. Good good. Good. Move. How cool. Was how. Critics could feel good thanks how to cook. To our kids was cool. How.

Now it's not really different what you're happy now for Christmas lights I think a bit of a Philistine and if you don't have a traditional English olfaction Christmas lunch and I was Turkey all the trimmings Yeah yeah well I Why why fill a stein of if you don't know about because Christmas is all about Christmas tree food Intel which is self for 24 hours you don't eat like that for the rest I don't anyway but I think the things I'm missin you have to think about when I was a kid we used to have ham in a tin. And. Have melts Newbery for. I think these are things you wouldn't see any other time and I'd like to think if any of the listeners can think of anything else that they use their head that they don't have now while Christmas time or any time of the Christmas time why so so food or drink used to have a Christmas time but you don't have any more there because well the blues wine could not tell you why in my house when I was a kid growing up there was always a little 4 pack a baby shower knocking around in the early eighty's man if you called me remember a flip No I have to carve out of. Oh no I have a car that Africa called for a car a lot of stuff that's. Used my mother in law. She's called a snowball I was not right. So little things before you left mobiles anymore I don't think they do enough bells to get out stuff it's kind of very kind of sixty's isn't it Mel Mel's banging on about eggnog all in the weather stall here with us the American version all very similar to the other of a lemon I don't even know you can buy these things on a cycle let me have a look so I don't know how do you sell out because. Chestnuts. On the advocate. Don't tell you spell it is that vocab C A T At the end all right yeah. Yeah Dutch company yeah yeah but there was loads of great things that we used to have you know people say that the you get the variety now anything you want. It can go on and I think that's part of the altered I think Christmas as we know it started after the war and it just got bigger. And as people got more money in it talking to it more that but you can't buy the traditional. Christmas fair I think it's great. And nationality. And I'm sure even Lee let's support the same thing. Because Claire crackers now only be nice and I wonder could hear a lot of other gens conflicts in the crackers got to be naff as in it was a pretty naff joke that's proper It's really couldn't really have found a male found if you tempted for this year 2018 at Tesco other leading supermarkets warmly Advocaat selling at 10 quid a bottle go go out and get all the other you need to console yourself else you can have a snowball issue.
