A summary of the Peterborough Breakfast Show from BBC Radio Cambridgeshire broadcast from 06:00 to 09:00 on Tuesday 14th December 2010.<\/p>\n
Topics:
\nPeterborough faces an \u00a38 million budget cut, from \u00a3164 million to \u00a3156 million, 5% of its Govt. allocation. The local Labour spokesman says the figure is in fact higher, and wants a slower reduction. The local LibDem suggests a number of areas to save money.
\nCambridgeshire County Council announce their budget cut at 3%. The local Labour man says it’s nearer 11% and is, in fact, just the first step towards the complete privatisation of all council services. BBC insist it’s all the fault of the Labour Party.
\nPolice are hand-delivering 40 Xmas cards to persistent offenders to remind them of their seasonal obligations towards the community. It’s also a good excuse to knock on their doors.
\n
\nPeterborough Hospitals are holding a crutch amnesty as they lose most of them and some turn up at car boot sales.<\/p>\n
That’s about it really for local news, and only three of them were local. There are various pieces of advertorial dotted around, including a pole dancing establishment in Norfolk Street, some Xmas trees still available down the Oundle Road and Santa’s Grotto in Queensgate, but news it ain’t.<\/p>\n
One of the staff was moaning that they had to work right up until 6pm on December 24th. BBC eh?<\/p>\n
During an item about the spirit of Christmas, the BBC Peterborough interview was apparently with a soul-therapist from Muswell Hill, taken by surprise on the day. Staggers had to do all work. How did that happen?<\/p>\n
Note: the lady does apparently do a bit with the Beeb: There was a thing about horseradish sandwiches for the common cold. And a lady from Ely who won a WI jam competition. Peterborough, Ely, Peterborough . It’s quite a nice run out. Plenty of parking in Ely.<\/p>\n Weather: A cloudy and misty start with some rain but becoming brighter later with some sunshine. 3C<\/p>\n Interviewees: Team: A summary of the Peterborough Breakfast Show from BBC Radio Cambridgeshire broadcast from 06:00 to 09:00 on Tuesday 14th December 2010.

\n“My favourite broadcast was for the celebrated veteran BBC producer of classic comedy programmes, Ian Guardhouse, in which I featured along with Morecambe & Wise, The Goons, George Melly and Stanley Unwin on Stephen Fry\u2019s \u201cThe Joy Of Gibberish\u201d on BBC Radio 4.”<\/em>
\nI won’t send you straight to the website. There’s a blog here<\/a>. It’s quite interesting. It’s a bit Weekend Guardian. Something to read later on.<\/p>\n
