A wintry week with colds galore led us not down the garden path but rather along our much loved international tourist magnet here on the island being the Military Road. This oft deified drivers’ paradise is facing its own challenges from the onward march of the sea and the elements as the tarmacadam sits perilously waiting to be consumed by nature. If we don’t save it what damage will be down to our landscape, to our tourism, to our very identity as islanders? What will we leave Alan Titchmarsh to wax lyrically about as high definition drones dive bomb unsuspecting motorists to grab more stock footage of this national landscape?
The MP and a variety of citizen led social media campaigns have sprung into action to do what they can. Spurred on by this show of community dedication we discuss whip rounds for post offices, village halls and once much-loved newspapers.Off-island adventures introduce one half of the presenter team to the delights of air fryers. There’s much talk of triple fried chips and Sodastream powered Betamax video recorders and other flash in the pans. Stay to the end to find out whose bed the Milk Tray man’s calling card may have made an appearance in much to the surprise of the other host.Covering all the bases, another episode packed to the rafters with topical chat.
Thanks for listening
Rory and Tim
