Severn FM® - Severn Bore Breakfast Show

SO, Mandy promised to be early today (on-time) but got lashed up last night, so was 10 minutes late (tut!). Andy was happy as his broadband had been fixed (by him) with his ex BT apprentice of 24 years ago who is now one of BTO's top broadband engineers (Jason C). Paul, well was Paul really and kept interrupting. Baz N Tel's word was THAMES and back to back today was from Dolly Parton. News items: Royal International Air Tattoo, Naked selfies extracted from 'factory reset' phones, Emergency data law and Katie Melua admits being 'clueless' about tax scheme.

So, Sky and BT Openreach have STILL not fixed Andy's broadband issues - even after he helped a BT Engineer (did Andy ever mention he used to work for BT!!??) localise the fault to within 100m of his house. Paul does a very good job of calming Andy down and even after he wants to just 'give up' half way through the show, Paully Boy makes him persevere and solider on. Back to back is from the Kinks today and Baz N Tel talk about WIMBLEDON. News items: High Court challenges UK work schemes, Official complaint filed over Facebook emotion study, Kudoso router only allows internet access after chores, Chimpanzee language: Communication gestures translated and Children's TV 'packed with junk-food references'.

We are back and Sky have temporarily fixed Andy's internet! Andy and Paul do the usual and bang on about nothing in particular really. Back to back is from Dave Edmunds today and Baz N Tel talk about Scotland! Banksy's Spy Booth: Race to raise £1m in Cheltenham fails, Amazon accused of 'bullying' smaller UK publishers, Glastonbury: Lightning closes all stages and Athena Tennis Girl poster dress up for auction.

The upgrade to Sky Fibre Pro hadn't gone as well as planned - i.e. not well at all! We were getting lots of errors and the service continually reconnecting. Thank goodness for the Listenagain service!! Paul tells us how he thought he was dying after going for a run which ironically what happed to Rik Mayall as well. We do have a mini tribute to him as he was part of the three of us's lives when we were teenagers. Andy mentions his very bad day on Friday the 13th and Mandy will be changing jobs. Baz and Tel (aka Hel and Al) talk dirty with their 6 minute word -SEWERS and The Boomtown Rat's RATRAP goes nicely with that subject! Next weeks is TAXI. Tom Hardy image as Kray twins released, Xbox One ad is switching on Microsoft consoles, Harrison Ford breaks ankle on Star Wars film set at Pinewood studios, London's anti-Uber taxi protest brings traffic to standstill and sadly, Rik Mayall 'suffered cardiac event', says wife.

Mandy is traditionally late again and Paul gives her a bit of a roasting (over being late). Baz and Tel (Hel and Al) are given the word - UNDERGROUND to discuss for 6 minutes! The Swedish Fanclub are both listening today and it's warm and sunny in Sweden. Shauny Shaun Skypes in from the Gloucester Sportbeat Festival - it's raining!

Mandy was just a little bit late today. Andy gets very defensive over the right of the mobile networks to subsidise handsets and it not impressed with Which?'s suggestion to unlock handsets for free!

Today, they be mostly talking about Bread! The food, the money, the band and the 'sit-com' from the 80's. The audio quality is not brilliant as it was recorded on an iPhone.

Baz is not in today, however Mandy is back and only 30 second late. Andy talks to Michelle Heaton from Liberty X about sharing and yoghurt! We also hear a new feature, the Word According to Hel and Al, who tell us about BREAD!

We opened up, with a few technical problems. Shaun was in Ypres in Belgium and he had a few technical "issues". We got there in the end though and Shaun gave us an overview of why he was there and the significance of Gloucester in World War 1. Paul talked about his first show and of course Barry and Andy, ridiculed him - but really it was good!
