In a little coffee shop in Bristol - great to see these cups and saucers - we had them at home in the 70’s! Used for best!!

Thank you for lovely messages. I’m gutted to have said goodbye to my special late night radio friends - it’s not what I wanted. I’m lucky to be keeping an on air job at BBC. With love and respect to all my colleagues who are staying, or have made the difficult decision to leave.

I won’t be on the radio tonight as I join my fellow @NUJofficial members in industrial action for 24 hours from 1100. Tonight my programme (normally on 4 stations) will be replaced by a national share. Sadly, that will be the norm by the end of the year! #KeepBBCLocalRadioLocal

Gutted to see this lovely man leave the BBC. Authentic to the core. I spent many happy days with Malc at Radio WM - and used to make all his silly jingles. There were lots of laughs and a few wee drams! Wishing him all the best. His talent will propel him to better things! X
