Radio Recommendation

[jags]

i bough a roberts pocket radio paid about 70 euro for it ,i brough it back the next day and got a cheap  sony totally useless but every bit as good or bad as the roberts.mind you on its first outing i dropped it over the nearest hedge ,radios just don't work on the move.

If we meet, remind me not to let you near my radio   

[jags]

I'd like to find out where jags lives, and search the nearby hedges for radios.

David you would find a hell of a lot more that radios, i paid  big money for a  waterproof  jacket one time  wore it once put it in the bin  when i got home soaking wet.dont talk to about tyres ,bartape  saddles .ah i've calmed down tho with the amount of gear i've given away or  binned i could have a new clubtour under my arse but sure such is life.

Jags, it sounds like you might be related to a bloke I came across in Sussex.  i saw what looked like a mig wire reel in his skip, so asked if I could grab it for an extension cable reel.  He said "help yourself mate, it still has the Snap-On mig welder attached to it".  Sure enough it was as he said.  The wire wouldn't feed properly so he tossed the whole thing in the skip.  I didn't need a welder, but I grabbed it nonetheless and took it home.

+1 on the recommendation for TuneIn. Throw the radio away!

[Templogin]

Only useful with an internet connection.  I have just upgraded my phone to one with a camera, so it may be a few years before I get around to a smart phone.  In the meantime my wifi iPad keeps me happy enough

TuneIn can be obtained from the App Store for the iPad as well   If you have a wifi connection you have any radio staion around the globe.

Since buying the radio I have found something that might have been better suited

I was especially interested by the wire antennae, amongst other things.  Only a fiver more than the one that I bought.  And after all that research.  Pfft!
