Back to a full two hours today, and being a Tuesday it was good to welcome the smiling face of CARL MERRY with another Essex Tale.

More on that in a moment but first off we heard all about the man in search of a new wife, who just appeared on a TV dating show.

Nothing particularly strange about that, however this man brought gasps from the audience when he calmly admitted that he’d “bumped off” his last two partners. His first wife bit the dust because she irritated him, whilst his second partner met her demise “accidentally” after he swung an axe at her because he thought she was after his money. Well she certainly cashed in her cheques! In spite of this he insisted that any new woman in his life need not be afraid that he would kill her.

I wonder if there were any takers.

Getting back to today’s ESSEX TALE. The story today concerned Richard the Lionheart and his pet “crocadilly” which seemingly escaped and set up home in the Essex village of Wormingford. You can listen again to today’s tale by clicking on this link: –

See you next week,
