| Radio Most important tool? | | Hi all
I think the radio and the kettle are very close contenders for sanity at work
Is anyone sick of hearing radio 1 or 2 every day on site for the last 10 years? If i hear another Jo whiley show I'm ....anyway.
I'm going to hopefully be working on my own in a few weeks so will have the choice of what i listen to on the radio. So I'm thinking of getting myself a Digital radio for a bit more variety in stations.
Question is Does anyone here use a decent digital radio they'd recommend as all the ones i've looked at seem a little bit fragile for on site?
Thanks in advance

| I always ask the customersw if its ok,I'd seriously consider not doing the job if I couldn't have my radio on.On site alot I seem to be the only one with a radio.
I always listen to Radio one but if theres alot of old farts around Dave or Gaz's age I'll put the local radio station on to make it fair.
A painter the other day asked me if I would change radio 1 for radio 2 for him cause he loves Steve Wright,that was 2 weeks ago and I still haven't stopped laughing.
Seriously working by yourself I need my radio to keep me sane. | | |
