Some sunshine – at last but it just had to be on a Monday!

Another working week, well it is unless you are off with your children enjoying their Easter holidays. Being a Monday today’s show was crammed full of music with just a couple of oddball news stories thrown in for good measure.

Being Easter the first story concerned a woman who has the kind of job that a whole heap of people would be drooling over – she gets paid to eat chocolate. In fact she can chomp through no less than 20 varieties of chocolate per day. There is a standing joke that anyone who works there gains half a stone in the first month. Ironically in this lady’s case it was the company who put on a Stone – for that is the lady’s name! In fact Mrs Stone says she easily works off the calories she consumes walking around the factory. Don’t tell my wife if this job comes up – it would be like putting an alcoholic in charge of a distillery!

The second story concerned a motorist from Essex who suffers from a fear of bridges and tunnels. Not great if you find yourself on the M25 approaching the Dartford River Crossing, especially in the rush hour. Seemingly he thought he had programmed his SAT NAV to find an alternative route, which would presumably have meant going all the way around the motorway in the opposite direction. As it was the police had to escort him through the tunnel. I wonder if they had to shut him in the boot or just put a hood over his head whilst an officer took the wheel, but I guess we’ll never know.

Well that’s Monday out of the way. See you tomorrow when we’ll do it all over again.
