Autumn is here and winter is on the way. But this can be a lovely time of year. Tidy up the garden, cut the grass... It's not wise to cut the grass too short for the winter. Classic cars, acorns, conquers, wood piles, coal fires... Join me for a chat.

Conquer fights in the school playground, it's that time of year! But that's been banned... we are NOT allowed to have fun at school. Join me for a good old moan-off!

Do you agree with the 20 MPH speed limit being introduced in Wales? Do you agree with ULEZ? In this episode, I'll be bangning on about motoring in the UK. Driving in the old days was fun but, now, it's a nightmare! I'll also be talking about that old saying... Don't compare yourself with others. Why do so many people have to look at others and comment on their clothes, their car, their house, their way of life... Mind your own business, that's what I say!
