Bob Le-Roi

Spooky Day Fri 29/07/11

The strangest of day’s genuinely began waking up to find our radio controlled clock’s were at 01.29, reset they behaved perfectly, luckily a large truck woke Bob so he was up in time for the ‘Hot Breakfast’

When he arrived Hooligan Hadler noticed a few cockle shells on the studio floor & vacuumed up, not before Bob found that his Hour Opening Jingle had been tampered with!

The evidence of a strange force or is it the mysterious Barnacle Bill

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

Awarded Wed 27/07/11

Successful Application

The Community Grant offered by Mark Dance Kent County Councilor on the ‘Live Lunch’ on 19th July has been awarded:

Matthew Raisbeck organises a local group & asked if they could be considered for the Community Grant they heard about on Red Sand Radio

His group of singers called the ‘Whitstable Warblers’ wants go out and about around Christmas time to sing carols to day centres and sheltered housing schemes

The money would cover the cost of musicians, Christmas sheet music etc so a grant of some sort would help enormously

I would you please include this in the community grant scheme being run by Red Sand Radio

Mark Dance has confirmed today 27th July that of the applications reviewed by Jo Pannel Matthew’s was considered the most suitable & has been awarded a grant

Silly Signs Wed 27/07/11

A sign saying ‘Keep off the Grass’ has been placed on a scabby 1 meter square of ground by Merton Council between two driveways in a street in Raynes Park, south London

A spokesperson said “The sign’s to remind motorists it’s illegal to park on the footpath so is designed to deter indiscriminate parking”

And that corker’s not the only candidate forBritain’s stupidest sign

Dave said he’d see a sign saying ‘Darkroom. Keep door closed to stop the dark escaping’

Alan saw an American sign saying ‘This Sign Has Sharp Edges’

Another ‘No Entry, Entrance Only’

Anymore?

Cushings Walk

John sent in this snap of Cushing’s Walk, Whitstable a through road with pointless double yellow lines

Mariehamn Sign

Jim sent in this picture of a sign in Mariehamn, Aland, Finland in Swedish

Our tame translator says that Fart = Speed, Hinder = Bump

Brian tels us on the A249 there’s a sign that says – ’Sign Not in Use’

Skinner Street in Gillingham has a shop with a sign saying – ‘We Never Close’ underneath yes you guessed it – ‘Closed’

Colin told us of a sign he’d seen saying ‘Ladies are requested not to have babies in the club’

Thai Road Sign

Thanks, I think to Nick for this from Thialand who says he could fill a memory card with bonkers Thia’ signs1
