@classicjacko @the_halle @bbcproms @thetimes @Telegraph I thought the 1987 Bernstein version was the best until I listened to this. The R3 sound was stunning too. Credit to the sound team!

@BBCNews you need to get a power expert on. There is no way this is going to be fixed soon.

@ThisisDavina Thank you so much for saying that benign is not fine. I’ve been living with a low grade brain tumour for 6 years which can’t be removed. I’ve had chemo, radiotherapy and now more chemo. Benign really isn’t fine and this thing takes over your life. Thank you for saying this. ❤️

@charlesnove That’s good. Nice Axia desks - nearly as good as the old type Ds! Good luck for the move.

@TheDoctorBob Congrats Bob

@StephanieHirst @airchecks Love it. Just found loads of carts in the garage from my wife’s time on County Sound but nothing to play them on ☹️. These include the fruit machine competition which used 3 carts to simulate the 3 reels of a one armed bandit. Worked surprising well on a Sonifex triple-stack!

@AldiUK Hi Mollie, thanks for the reply. We have received a fine from Parking Eye for parking there for 1 hour 15 mins. Who do we raise this with please?

[Mark Smith @soundsmith]

@AldiUK How long am I allowed to park at your Chertsey store?

[Mark Smith @soundsmith]

@iandeeley It got quite close to happening…we had to get very grumpy about it. Their main plan was to get it right on DAB by having special early pips (maybe a second or two) and normal pips on FM. Today would finish at 59.50 and restart after the last pip on FM. What could go wrong!

@JeffreyJWarren @nationaltrust @HatchlandsNT Looks like this house on St George’s Hill

@iandeeley @BBCNewsbeat @RickKelsey The great @TinaRitchie2022 and Danny Shaw. The adrenaline rush of going live with only one tape on the rack and a 3 minute opener cart still re-cueing. Good luck with the move!

[Mark Smith @soundsmith]

@rogermosey As a retired studio manager, that opening still gets the adrenaline going, evoking images of a chaotic studio 3B as we went on air. Great piece of music too.

@branscomb Yes indeedy. That's right, that is correct.

[Mark Smith @soundsmith]

@CharlotteIvers One of the best pieces I’ve read in a long while.

[Mark Smith @soundsmith]

Still not working, multiple fixed by times missed. Not good enough for the amount I’m paying. Is it ever going to be fixed?

[Mark Smith @soundsmith]

@virginmedia No internet since Tuesday, your status page and phone message keep moving the resolution time by 3 hours. No one the phone knows anything apart from what I already know and I have no escalation route. Please help!

[Mark Smith @soundsmith]

@DirkMaggs This is incredible. Looks like you’ve moved on a bit from the Radio 2 trail days when we wrestled with three carts, one gram and one tape! Hope you’re keeping well?
