I am a fan of Antony Gormley. His new work has put Oxford back on the front page of European Art .

That man David is always complaining out the B.B.C. He has a real problem which he needs to work out. His problem is he is one of the few people in the U.K. who buys a Television Licence Fee. He should chill out and join the rest of us who don`t bother.Spend your money on something useful David.

Why not limit Child Allowance to just the first two children - then people can continue to have as many children as they feel they can financially support !

I try to listen in to your show when I can. Every night you apologise for not being able to broadcast texts, emails or calls from your audience.... You now repeat many items from tape. You do a time consuming link about at T.V. show which starts at 6.30 in spite of all research demonstating that radio audiences do not switch until 7 p.m.for News or soaps. You repeat sports news.You have new blood staff who would probably love to come in and read out texts etc. in the last ten minutes, you could respond, it would be fun. Everybody know that Roger Day is broadcasting from outside our area after 7.p.m. Cut out that link, I`m sure he would be pleased .Your Boss at a recent Headington talk suggested that the future is digital , he is right, but digital covers everything from robotic messages on phones to live broadcasts from concert halls. Cut out the repeats, people can listen on their ipods if they want to go over any items. Don`t dumb down all the time, use the young talent you have in your building. Tingle our ears.

My wife has said I should make it clear that I pay tax and insurance just like everybody else. I also have to hold current certificates to allow me to work and repair your/ our Highways and maintain a reliable form of transport.I hope the people who pull Sickies read this.

It`s very difficult if you work your guts out grafting on important road works and if you can`t get to your workplace, which could be twenty miles away, you will not get paid. There is no such thing as sickpay or pensions for us and we earn probably on avarage eighty pounds a day when we can work a full day. We also get criticism from media hacks like Bill who complain when we do not work twelve hour shifts through the night, although if we did, residents would complain about the noise. Next time you see workers in their high viz, soaked to the skin, in dangerous workzones with no welfare facilities just think on.Some people have cushy jobs which they don`t deserve. I have earnt sixty pounds over the last two weeks and I have a home and family to support.
