I'm going to be trying out some new techniques including giving away copies of The Sun. Do you think that'll make Liverpudlians love me?

Christopher you and Steve are becoming two "real old codgers" over Pete Price, it is becoming a real regular whinge.

I have said it before if Pete was still not attracting good audience figures, knowing RM the City MD well, I know he would be looking for someone new, though I must say I'm not that impressed with the guy who does the two late shows at the weekend replacing Pete, he is so weak!

The Sun has been a real hot cake over the years and still attracts heated conversation. Not coming from Liverpool , even at the height of the Sun protest, it did not mean a lot to me, even the newsagents across the road from the studios, then in Stanley Street would not stock it. Anyway the Sun caused a fight one day between me and one of my real mates (who had joined City from a London Sales House, even though he was a Scouser) he came in my office and found a copy on my desk, he picked it up and ripped it into small pieces, I'm very placid but it got me really uptight and heated! never have I lost my cool like that, for me it was a matter of principal.
