I’m a part-time Journo!
You know the story of the ‘I’m a journalist’ poking his nose into our management in the way we deal with dogs locked in their cars with adequate ventilation. This part-time journo thought the dog was more important than the approximately 4000 people on site at our Mitchell Car Boot Sale demanding I call the emergency services Police-Fire and RSPCA and I told the man to go mind his own business.
I then find out the man works as a part-time BBC presenter and not to give him too much publicity I will call him Lorry! He invited me to talk on his radio show about this total non-incident and I must admit I was rude to Lorry in my refusal to attend his stuffy studio to talk a load of crap about ONE dog!
In all I have had about twelve different people mention this man’s show all very negative about Lorry and his attempt to discredit my business and the multi-multi thousands of customers whom I represent. Why does the BBC waste the licence payer’s money on local radio if the object of its presenters is to tell lies to listeners just for the sake of one man who likes to hear his own voice! If one (just one) of the comments were detrimental to Car Boots Cornwall I would have apologised without reservations but the overall opinion was summed up by one observer “His programme is a load of sh-te and nobody loves Lorry like Lorry loves Lorry”
One listener told me he is soo conceited he puts make-up on before going to present his RADIO show! Really!
Finally Lorry, when you prepare and dress yourself before your daily ego trip a word of advice. Don’t bother doing up the zip mate “DEAD BIRDS don’t fall out of NESTS”!

Ps; I only listen to one person on BBC Radio Cornwall and that is Freddie ZAPP we have known him for years and NEVER a cross word WHY because he is a GENT and he doesn’t poke his nose. I personally think he has so much support his programme should be switched to lunchtimes 12 to 3.00pm!
