Mark is on most Mondays from 3 pm to 5 pm UK time, if you fancy listening in. (Actually, he's on most Mondays from 3 pm to 5 pm UK time, even if you don't fancy listening in.) He's very good at it. In a fairer world he'd be on BBC Radio 2 or something, but that's life I suppose.

John Ashe

"John Ashe ("spelt with an E") is either 60 or 62 years old and lives in Basingstoke, UK. In the 1970s he had two girlfriends (at different times), one called Maud, the other Molly. His hobbies include riding a pogo stick and walking with stilts (neither of which, contrary to the ignorant opinion of his newly trained GP, has any connection to his persistent back problems). Though not short of money, as a fairly successful, now-retired, quantity surveyor, John occasionally endeavours to supplement his pensions by buying and selling Cornish pasties and transporting them up and down the M6 to outlets from which he can gain the greatest profit before they go bad. He once (famously in Baskingtoke circles) won a second-hand lawnmower in a postal competition."
