Actually, come to think of it, Steve Garlick does have a gardening expert come in on the first Sunday of every month to take listeners questions and offer advice and tips etc. He was on yesterday (Sunday 6th)

Yes but Steve Garlick does not deliver manure unlke the other Steve
I`d like to add my little contribution if you dont mind. As someone who used to listen a lot to Big L in the past but now days just the odd 10 minutes a day I find this whole situation quite amusing. If Chirpy said he was going to resign he must have been really upset about something. Now I see Roger has posted something which to me sounds confusing and maybe a smoke screen. He has also locked that thread. That action has made me think he is a little too controlling of his station and the F.O.B.L forum. I believe in openness and fair play at all times. As the Big L supporter has only been informed by Roger should it not be up to Chirpy to state his side of the story.
Roger is not controlling at all..far from it .. we have all got away with things we shouldnt say or do .. i have had "the chat" as well . You dont know the guy .. we do so you shouldnt really be making untrue statements. Thats the trouble on forums ..assumptions and innuendo. Nobody ever thinks to just ask. and his post is not a smoke screen. There you go. some "facts"

Well, Im sorry if you think I have spoken out and offended you or Roger. But the one thing I have learned from being married to an American is that we should each have a voice and say what we each think. All I was saying was, I know how important BIG L is to Chirpy and for him wanting to resign must have been about something big. Big L has always been his life and it helped him a few years back. So for him to say on air he was going to quit must have been hard.
The simple fact of Roger locking that thread and preventing any more debate made me say he is controlling. Im sorry if you think otherwise. The thing is no one on F.O.B.L will say anything in fear of rocking the boat and straying off the party line. Im sorry for being too out spoken in my views but thats what you get married to an American.
I may not be like some others on here and F.O.B.L as I see things from both sides and I dont follow something blindly.
Quote from another place : Hmm, yes, it would appear that some are maybe out for character assasination
If a certain presenter (not Chirpy) makes up emails from a listener to try and prove he receives emails from listeners then I believe he deserves everything that is thrown at him
the debate was going nowhere. i have spoken to Chirpy, as has Kev. Have you listened to his show today? can you tell a difference in music , requests etc? . Also the hospital radio network is squabbling about something and dropped Big l ..chirpy was upset about that too. But you have to be professional and carry on. Alot of that debate was having a snipe at Steve James. He is a good friend. If people dont like him, there is the off button .. and thousands of other stations, in fact alot on here which are very good. Chirpy is fine now ... I think thats where it should be left thats all. We all have the "rules" which were always in place anyway. we all give up around 15 hours of free time a week to keep things on air .. i work 6 days a week and on Sunday my day off I spend 6 hours on Big L , , give up a friday evening to do the same .. I dont do it all for myself .. :) Just gets annoying seeing some things that are written
OK Simon I have no axe to grind with you However you have now mentioned Steve James so I will repeat my post from above

I cant comment on that as I dont know ... now if i was in the studio at the same time i could .. i know alot of people dont like Steve ..and he has toned it down now .. again ..the rules must be obeyed lol :) I can name at least 10 listeners who dont like my show too but thats choice :) i do it for fun lol
Actually, come to think about it we have been in the studio at Frinton a couple of times during Stves shows, and i saw no eveidence of this? In fact i saw a lot of genuine emails come through. Steves shows are unique, he may not be to everyones taste but i can assure you, he has plenty of support from lots of Big L listeners, including myself. I really enjoy his shows, they are funny, lighthearted and always full of great tunes. In my oppinion if people dont like him then dont listen, simple.
