Pickles Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Presumably you are referring to "Barwick Green", the mapole dance composed by Arthur Wood? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loiseau Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Arrrrrrrrrrghhhhhhh!Can't stand it! Not a fan of the programme at all, though I did once go out with somebody who did the "spot effects" in the studio (walk on gravel, ring door/telephone bell, operate various latches, chink teacups, etc).It ALWAYS seems to start up when I'm in the car, and I gnash my teeth before turning the radio off.Angela Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolybanana Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 So, Angela, you drive with one hand and grind your teeth with the other. This is worse than phoning at the wheel, though perhaps more satisfying! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loiseau Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Dear Mr Banana,Any fule no that you have to gnash your teeth to get them sharp enough to grip the radio button before turning it off...Araucaria, I can't even remember what the word was before "teacup" that caused the forum's software to expunge it!

YCCMB Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 I think it serves a very useful purpose. As a warning signal. Like Loiseau, it gives me an indication that it's time to switch off the radio or retune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
