*} ZW, I think your programme on Saturday night did you credit. sd ut X AN all-electric brewery bas just been opened in Munich-Ohm-brew. nt % Ed UST a kindly word to the Board in passing. Watch your talks. Some of them are fairly close to advertising. us nS BAg A LOT of dud radio sets are being +* sold from door to door these days. If you are wise you will leave them alone and tell your friends to do the same thing, Fe % Fe A SCOTTISH programme from a YA station last week started with "Plymouth Hoe," included the "Yeomen of the Guard." a lecture on Maori Mythology, avd finished with "Yankee Grit.’ Scottish! Ugh. International], I call it. = 2 PARK, who for the time being has K suspended his 5/- joke, left this paragraph for me. "Listening to Big Brother Bill during the 4YA children’s session recently, our young hopeful of six summers, astonished at not hearing an Aunt’s voice, exclaimed, ‘Mum, he hasn’t got his missus with him _ tonight.’ " . * BS xu A N Inglish paper says that two thousand years ago wild boars prowled over what is now the site of Broadcasting House. Even :.ow the place is not éntirely free from the tame species."Punch." % * WAS having the monthly trim up at the barber’s the other Friday evening when I overheard the following conversation: Barber: "Anything hon the ‘air tonight, sir?" My neighbour, curtly: "I don’t know, I’m not interested in radio." * * * ; "THE Bohemian Orchestra from 1YA last week was a_ praisewarlhy
broadcast. But why does not the announcer go down to the hall instead of remaining in the studio. Iie would at least be prepared for last-minute changes in programme and not convey the impression that his musical knowledge has been sadly neglected. K Fe) z WAR Quadrant: What are "radio logs" dxers talk about so much."No Savee." I'm not quite certain, but doubtless they are things you have to exercise a lot of imagination about. Probably logs one puts on an electric fire. . ‘ * % By ; T CAN only get 2YA on my new sect, what will yours bring in?’ "Well-er-the monthly instalment account." oo Ld OW radio changes things! In our day cbildren were seen and not beard. This precocious young generation is heard and not seen. I’m dreading television. * = % * M°*. B. BERNARD'S talk from 24 on Monday evening was most interesting, but I can see the poor man deluged with inquiries. But it is his own fault. Did he not say "Ask me anything and everything about anyone and everyone in Hollywood, and I wil] write you personally"? Some people are courageous, to say the least. + ® Q READ somewhere that Great Britain is exporting thousands of radio sets to China. It tickles me to think of radio sets being sold there. I ean just picture the scene as the impassive Orientals stand in a junk shop in the Bubbling Well Road. Customer: "Dis one agood tuna?" Dealer: "Dat one velle good tuna. He eatchee plenty station!" Customer: "Speaka Chinee, or speaka English?" Dealer: "He speaka anything-alla-same parrot!"
