It's not often I think seriously about repairing the bust soundcard on my computer!  Better have a go tonight - thanks for those, John.

All best, Gavin

Ah. With your recent post about the fate of your TV and Radio 4 I was thinking of you specifically when I posted that.
I thought Phil Cooper might be interested in the potato piece too.

Managed to find time to listen to the links John , and very interesting too, particularly the Peruvian potato growers. What a charming accent you have John   ;D

[john_miller]

Yes, magpie,  a mixture of Herts/Essex border and Vermont. A charming, charming mix. Oh, you mean him!!!!

You mean like Alastair Cooke?  Nice one! - as I sit here listening to one of early letters about the TV weatherman  :)

All best, Gavin
