Another week gone by and here are the best/worst bits of the Drive show…

Monday saw us get off to a good start because we had cake-maker Lorraine from Lozzie Hakes Bakes in to talk about baking, how she achieves cake perfection and how to encourage the youngsters to get involved. You can hear the interview on its separate page here.

Strap yourself in for a bumpy ride – here are some selected gubbins from this week’s shenanigans:

I had a very simple solution to dealing with the speeding problem on our roads…
