Big Mistakes! Thu 28/07/11

Over 1 million dollars worth of wine has been destroyed after it fell off of a forklift truck!  That’s a pretty bad day for the driver of the forklift, so I wanted to know what huge mistakes you’ve made at work, and if you owned up to them

Alan said that when he was young he used to clean peoples cars and by accident,  scratched a Jaguar in the process!  Ouch!

I owned up that on my first day at a large company I set the fire alarm of by mistake, and did a runner!

Bike Boy Thu 28/07/11

Before today’s The ‘Afternoon Spin’ Duncan ventured to Herne Bay on his Bike, first stop Memorial Park

Built in the 1930′s to commemorate those lost in the Great war

Looking towards the landward end of Herne Bay Pier, once over a mile in length the pier was bombed to deter any invaders coming ashore damaged beyond economic repair by storms in 1978 & finally dismantled in 1980

Herne Bay’s distinctive Clock Tower completed in 1837 braving all elements since

The seafont often used in films & TV for the beautiful terrace houses along the front

Barnacle Bill Thu 28/07/11

Is Barnacle Bill, of Herne Bay’s Heritage Walk fame, really Bob?

This was suggested by Nick a couple of days ago on Red Sands Radio Facebook page, but nobody really knows?

Banter included a Facebook chat about ‘Portland Bill’ & his chums; named after the Lighthouse on the Isle-of-Portland, Dorset & his ‘Shipping Forecast’ named chums televised on Children’s Television

On the show today I asked what your dream job would be  Peter emailed and said he already has his dream job – he’s an Airline Pilot!  One email said that they were a Forensic Scientist  It sounds like most of you are already doing your dream jobs!

On Yer Bike Tue 26/07/11

 Duncan’s Photo’s from whilst cycling around the towns foreshore promade

I used to come to Whitstable with the Grand Parents when I was young, so it’s good to be back in the area, although I don’t live too far away these days

I’ve been out and about on my bike this week, which having not been on one for ages, has been a bit of an experience!  I’ve had my camera with me, so have snapped some pics of the local area

Tower Hill & the Caste viewed from Long Beach

Hope you enjoy them!

Lost Dosh Mon 25/07/11

An airline has revealed the items their passengers have left behind on their aircraft, including an urn full of ashes and artificial limbs!  I asked you what you’ve lost or found around town.  Money was the most common thing to find around Whitstable, so I’m going to make sure I keep my eyes peeled when I’m walking about town!

Fish Supper! Fri 22/07/11

I told you today about thieves who made off with a lorry load of ketchup in Austria!  It got me thinking, what would you have on your fish and chips tonight?  Steve said lots of salt and vinegar.  For me, it always has to be a bit of cheese!  Back on Monday

Emily a  one of the nice crew of the Harbour Garden Cafe will undoubtedly be serving a few fish suppers over the weekend

Crumbs! Thu 21/07/11

I asked you what is your favourite type of biscuit?

John, via facebook said a plain chocolate digestive, while Mel in Herne Bay said her favourite is the humble Custard Cream

Roseleen says her favourites are Kimberley Biscuits and Steve agreed!

I didn’t know what a Kimberley biscuit was, but after looking it up, found they look delicious and go well with a pint of Guinness apparently!

My favourite is a Bourbon Cream by the way!

Superpower Wed 20/07/11

In the show today I told you about a survey carried out to see what superpowers people would most like to have!  Top of the list were invisibility, super strength and being able to predict the weather.  Robert in Swalecliffe suggested Teleportation!
