I can relate to that, its about a 8hr drive from Perth (Scotland!) down to London, last september when I was heading down to London my dad's brand new car broke down somewhere just after Birmingham. Absolute nightmare, Brand spanking new Focus, somehow Ford managed to get water in amongst where the Spark plugs go so the Engine kept misfiring causing the car to stop, took 2hrs before the RAC man returned with a new plug for the engine!. Grrrrr.....

You want the whole story dont ya dont ya?;)

Woke up at 3am on Tuesday morning,straightened my hair and was running round the Garden trying to dry them before I could pack them.

Then got to School at 5:30 half asleep and we set off..watched The Island which is a ledgend of a Film and I reccomend it..9 hours down to Dover,2 hours on the Ferry and then 2 hours on the Coach into Belgium.

Got to the youth hostel and we all got excited when we saw what we thought was a Zip wire but It was just some String on a Pole :( Netherlands Kids came to try and chat us all up with Rude english words they had learnt.

Watched the whole of the football and we got a room to ourselves cos we were the only english in the YH..it was a good match and we all went a bit crazy.

The Food was minging dont get me started,we had things such as left over soup,stale bread,red meat and Powdered baby Milk. :|

anyways we went round The war graves in Belgium(about 10 in different places) which was really boring.

Mind you yesterday was the best day ever!

Where we were was basically run by english people and they sold English food which was a godsend especially if you hadnt eaten properly in 2 days.

Went into Real Trenches with Rats,Mud,water and some had no light so we were all clinging onto each other scared out of our minds..the boys jumping on us and making us even more scared didnt help.

Then we went into the Town of Ypres and got a heck of alot of Belgium Chocolate and also got lost which was great when the only language we could speak was either French and English and they spoke mostly Flemmish.

Every morning we had to get up between 5-5:30am so we could all use the Crap shower which was cold all the time and wouldnt stay running for more than 2 seconds,it wasnt good especially when you had got to bed at midnight after listening to Queen and The Spice girls on full blast and dancing round your room and playing football with the guys till the early hours.

Then this morning we got up and got to the coach at 8am and set off for the Hypermarket in Calais and I bought more Chocolate.

Then Got the ferry at Lunch which really P*ssed me off when we went to the duty free to get my Perfume where they wouldnt accept my Debit card,they told me to go to the Cash Machine which was out of order so I went to the Bureau du Change who wanted my Passport and Driving license(i must look well old) but the teaches had them in the coach under the ferry-so no Cheap Perfume for me *sobs*

Then got off the Ferry and dropped one of the teaches off in Dover cos she wasnt coming home with us,then watched Stepford wives,Max and Paddy(I havent laughed so much in ages) and we watched something else but I cant remember cos I fell asleep for about 2hrs.

We then got caught in traffic just outside London which was boring as heck and we had to change a tyre after breaking down outside Norwich.

Was an fab trip,would love to do it again I really would!

Probs going to bed now,absolutley shattered :(

    • Radio 1 at Parklife will be presented by Vicky and Nat. Nat is currently listed to present her usual Sunday show on that weekend but I imagine that will change and someone else will be doing it instead. The Radio 1 presenters at Download will be Daniel P Carter, Jack Saunders, Alyx Holcombe and Nels Hylton.
    • Nat in for Dean with Vicky as well that day.
    • So the end of weekend afternoons this week - new show is July 1st.
    • Arielle is in for Greg on Monday 27th May.
    • He’s definitely gotten better and the show has sounded fine this week. I think it been at its best when it’s been Katie and Jamie or Vick and Katie. Vick and Jamie are ok together, but I do think the show sounds better when it’s Vick and Katie and therefore I still don’t really understand the point of the trio.    Jamie is, however, a lot better than Danny Beard! 
    • The RAJAR coming on later this year reflecting later summer to autumn will be interesting to how it reflects Matt and Mollie in afternoons to the revised changes on radio 1’s new music slots and the schedule re-shuffling Radio 3 introducing a new slate of programmes. Then, later on this year have speech radio stations having domestic political coverage of the election but also America’s presidential election.  
    • I actually caught snippets of today’s show, and I found it much better than the last time I listened. I have made it no secret that I like Jamie on the radio, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed Matt & him together last year. People have criticised him for not being relatable, but I have to agree with the comment above that I have always found him a naturally warm person to listen to. Maybe the going home set up was something that needed settling in and things are starting to take shape.  It must have been difficult for him joining an established duo in Vick & Katie to begin with.  Jamie was great on something songs today, fully engaged in the caller and sounded like a real presenter. Maybe he is doing as a lot of us hoped and really learning as he goes, how to do it properly. 
    • Agree with this. The anti-Jamie feeling was IMO quite influenced by the negativity around him replacing Jordan, since Jordan was exceptional and also universally loved. When people mention Danny and Jamie in the same sentence about bad hiring decisions I almost choke - Jamie may not be perfect but he's several leagues better than Danny already and has bags of potential. Danny is poor and has shown zero potential...
    • Jamie started 4 March, and the figures only going up to 31 March, so it isn't reliable. But it has shown the numbers have dropped in afternoons compared to last quarter. It looks like it's Capital's gain.
    • Do these audience figures reflect Jordan leaving and Jamie replacing him?
    • I think Jamie is really starting to settle into the role well. He comes across as really warm, and genuinely invested in the listeners when he’s talking to them which is nice. I think he’s building a really great relationship with Vicki and Katie too. His recent great company podcast is great too, where he has quite a deep chat with someone new each week. He’s clearly a very genuine person and I think he has some real potential.
    • Most probably. But do wonder what the future of the relax themed programmes will be when they officially wind down that service.
    • I think it's just to replace Wind Down presents... which was in that timeslot, and I'm guessing Chillout Anthems was just a buffer since it'll still be played at 06:00 on Sundays.
    • With listening on the U.K. for the industry in general it is good overall as most stations reach is on the up and shows radio to be more sustainable and stable outlet than linear televisions channels. This RAJAR I think with the increase shift to DAB+ the BBC will be able to say it has it’s audiences for the proposed new stations it wishes to launch and think the new innovative ideas that it seems Jack himself can take credit for on the new music show think the younger under 30 gen z demographic could increase se in that time-slot. 
    • Conor Knight is in for Sam & Danni on Saturday 8th & Sunday 9th June. It's Radio 1 at Parklife, 13.00-16.00 on Saturday 8th & Sunday 9th June. Matt & Mollie are in for Greg from Monday 10th to Friday 14th June - it's just Matt on the Thursday. It's Radio 1 at Download, 13.00-16.00 on Friday 14th June.
