b'The song I\'ve sent you this week is called "Long Live The Isle of Man"and came about from a song I was asked to write about #Blackpool.....I sent it to Norman Wisdom who lived over there ....I met him a few years later when we interviewed him for Radio Merseyside....the song got plays on #Manx radio.\\n\\nA short film has been made called Run...Hide...Tell... which instructs holiday makers what to do if faced with a terrorist attack....this is what TV has been reduced to...talk about scare mongering....\\n\\nI watched #Rafa Nadal\'s 5 hour epic at Wimbledon....which he sadly lost.....I watched a fascinating programme presented by Sue Barker where she looked up some of the past Wimbledon champions and covered the time Billy Jean King pushed for "equality"...\\n\\nOn the subject on money....the interest rate on our savings is now a massive 0.03%...which is 3/100 of 1% if my maths serves me right.\\n\\nI also watched the programme on the making of #SergeantPepper.....which I am not a \\nparticular fan of....#Beatles were the subject of mass hysteria which snowballed to such an extent that anything they did "must be good"....'
