Hello Doglet
I rather agree, but I like to think that all is not lost - yet!
A friend of mine arrived at Lords at 7.30 this morning and there was already a long queue up the Wellington Road and he is a member! I believe he can now be found, somewhere, drowning his sorrows before setting off back to the West Country.
We cricket lovers cannot be accused of lack of dedication!

For Pigale

It is the Long Wave Radio 4 that I can't get in my car and TMS is only on LW or a digital channel which I can't get either! I have to suffer for my pleasure!

Glad you like the tea towel; I look forward to Christmas!

hi kenyatta
TMS is available on my car radio on Medium Wave, but I am in the London area.
Not sure where in the UK you are, but several areas are covered by MW. Let me know if I can help further

Hello Jazzgirl

Thank you. I'd forgotten about the MW. I used to be able to get TMS on it 2 cars ago!
I shall try again. The next time you are in your car, do you think you could see what the numbers for R4 are? By numbers I mean the waveband (?) or something. Radio 5 is 909, for example.
Armed with that information I shall attack what is laughingly called the 'Infotation' system (ie radio) in my car.
Again, many thanks.

I can get Medium wave 720 for London area

Kenyatta and Doglet, sorry to hear (or rather guess) of the cricket result - still, it is only the second test match is it not?

I had intended to listen to some of it on Radio 4, while watching the early part of today's cycling stage, but I simply could not tune in;

This often happens when we get extreme temperatures and / or thundery atmosphere; well, today the maximum temp in the sun showed 45C, and it did feel slightly humid/thundery heat by mid-afternoon. I don't understand why it should affect it though

Hi Elle
Davis cup is on the red button today from one o'clock today had to play detective to find out

Morning, Doglet!
Thank you very much for that - it never occurred to me to check the red button listings!

Malone, if you're reading this, thank you again for providing the number of the red button - it works fine keying it in - brilliant!
(thank your son, too)

Elle, glad my red button tip is proving invaluable. Your thanks make up for the pitying look my son gave me when he enlightened me.

I'm at loss as to how your son knew the number?
Even now, I cannot find any reference to a number in connection with the red button?
but no matter- it now works!!!!!!

If I press the 'Guide' button on my remote this shows what's currently on tv - you can go through all the channels, by pressing the 'up' and 'down' buttons (again on the remote). Just above the listings for BBC 1, 2 etc is '603 RB 3', above that is '602 RB 2' and '602 RB 1'. (The last named informs me that it us currently showing 'Golf, The Open - Leaderboard'.)
