@iParkandRide any idea where the PR2 is? Have been waiting at Dysons clock for 40 mins. Want to make sure you're not going to cancel the next timetabled one (supposed to be picking my child up in York!)

[Ben Whitworth @NMM75]

@MetroTravelNews any idea where the PR2 service is? Currently waiting in town and no sign of it.....

@felixwhite @jimmy9 Is it wrong that I'm torn between the book and the audiobook solely because there's a conversation with @itsmattchin and we get to hear Jimmy not sing his own song but read it out instead??

[Ben Whitworth @NMM75]

@felixwhite could you have a word with @mlb and @MLBEurope about getting some baseball commentaries on the radio during the season? Like TMS, it's a wonderful listening experience!

[Ben Whitworth @NMM75]

@FirstWestYorks Any idea when a PR2 service might show up in Leeds. Been here for 30 mins and seen nothing (and 6 other ones for PR1 and PR3)?

[Ben Whitworth @NMM75]

@BBCLancsCricket @lancscricket @BBCSport Would love to be listening to this on my Alexa but each time I ask (verbatim per your tweet) I get the main Radio Lancashire stream (no cricket).

Am I doing something wrong?

@rachelburden @bbc5live @BBCRadio4 @BBCSounds @BBCiPlayer @bbcnickrobinson @hzeffman @philipjcowley Looking forward to a bit of Nick-opedia Rachel!

@BBCRadioScot Mark Stephen said on Out of Doors at the weekend that there would be an upcoming prog on Balmaleil Craft Village.

Hoping to be up there in a few weeks- any chance you can let me know when the programme is going to be on?

[Ben Whitworth @NMM75]

@TailendersPod How about getting the great Kevin Howells on the pod now the County championship has started? He's a cricketing and radio maestro and would love to hear more about/from him.

[Ben Whitworth @NMM75]

@bbctms Loving the County Cricket podcast with Kevin Howells. Any chance of inviting some of the County commentators on for future eps- love their commentary through the summer and would be great to hear a bit more from them outside of a match situation. Cheers

@SirArthurIndeed @nedboulting Ahem......

[Ben Whitworth @NMM75]

@nedboulting @rickedwards1 Rick is also a massive Liverpool fan and likes snooker.

So the golden ball in snooker is a rubbish idea and don't whatever you do suggest that changing the long jump is a good idea!

[Ben Whitworth @NMM75]

@nedboulting Been wanting you to be on for years!

If you're not a listener to the show....

@rickedwards1 loves athletics so answers on that go down well

A listener asks Q2- usually best for you to namecheck them when you answer

Don't swerve the DTI at the end- guaranteed loss

Good luck!

@vauclusedreamer @84Meteo As someone who's been to Apt in summer on and off for 30+ years, I always found it amazing that the bone dry car park would ever be like this!

[Ben Whitworth @NMM75]

@AlexHartley93 It's all that expert coaching that's made the difference!

[Ben Whitworth @NMM75]

@bbcdanw @Moneybox @FelicityHannah @Bobby_Seagull Some happy times in Wakefield!

[Ben Whitworth @NMM75]

@TheTerraceTV @sked21 @RFBorthwick @CraigGTelfer @ShaughanM Glad to have you guys back for an hour of random football wittering!!

[Ben Whitworth @NMM75]

@AlexHartley93 Guess this means I know which team I'll be supporting!

[Ben Whitworth @NMM75]

@LVcares Told your colleague (and I know it wasn't him personally) that this little thing has made you go from 9/9.5 out of 10 (who I had recommended to friends) down to a 6/10.

Grumble over (although will probably have to do price comparison malarkey next year)

[Ben Whitworth @NMM75]

@LVcares Disappointed this morning. Got a renewal quote which had gone up quite a bit, phoned up and got a discount offered straightaway. Previously dont feel you ever played this game so simply renewed. Now feels like you're just a bit more like all the other insurance firms
