b'There was a documentary on Channel 5 at the weekend entitled "William & Harry:Princes at War?" which suggested there was a problem between the two of them...the programme consisted of past news clips we have seen a hundred times before and a selection of "royal" correspondents who discussed possibilities,probabilities and hearsay regarding a rift between the brothers....no actual evidence whatsoever.....plus the "possibility" of a rift between Kate and Meghan with constant repetition of the news clips to pad it all out which \\nmerely showed them all getting along fine....a total waste of an hour of my life.\\n\\nThere was a chap interviewed on the radio who spends his time filming drivers on their mobile phones or driving dangerously then gives the evidence to the police....despite being sworn at and threatened he carries on doing it.....needless to say there were people phoning in with different opinions....a taxi driver was on asking how he was supposed to do his job without his mobile.....IT\'S THE LAW MATE!!....obviously possibly killing someone is less important than picking up clients.....the chap has suffered a loss due to dangerous driving in the past which is the reason he does this....a bit dodgy I feel but I salute the guy.\\n\\nEvery day there are major hold ups on our motorways due to breakdowns and idiots causing accidents....we have recently had one locally on the M53 which sadly involved a fatality......the traffic was gridlocked for seven hours....this is a problem which is not going to go away and I don\'t think there is an answer....perhaps an extra emergency lane or a few emergency slip roads?....it\'s a tricky one.....I personally think the speed limit should be lowered to 65 like in the States and have stricter sentences.....you would still get the boneheads ignoring it all but it would help.....but apparently it isn\'t the police who are \\nresponsible for the traffic on the motorways it\'s the Highways Authority......enough said.\\n\\nSpeed cameras everywhere is the answer and the fortune they would create could possibly be spent on repairing the potholes everywhere.\\n\\nOur population has always had many addictions to contend with....gambling and alcohol for example...well the latest one is apparently mobile phones and video games.....this is understandable when every youngster you see is on their phone....what do they find to talk about when they are walking down the road?....It makes you wonder how we survived back in the day when we didn\'t even have a phone in the house.....when I started in my band I used to tell people who gave us the odd booking to ring me at a certain time....the \\nphone number I gave them was the phone box close by and I used to stand outside waiting for the call....if you\'d have told us back then that in the future we would be able to make phone calls on the train or walking around the supermarket we would have laughed....but that\'s progress I suppose.....I have a mobile phone but never have it switched on....it\'s there purely for emergencies....and miraculously I still get by.\\n\\nThe song this week is entitled The Ballad of Randolph Scott and strangely enough was very successful.....it was the result of a chat I had on Radio City with presenter Billy Butler......as I was known for writing songs about a variety of things he had a phone in with listeners challenging me with various subjects ....one being Randolph Scott....and as it had recently been revealed that Randy wasn\'t quite as macho as we thought I came up with this.....Billly got a lot of mileage out of it which resulted in me making an album featuring songs of other film stars which sold very well....the song simply makes enquiries about other cowboys if Randolph wasn\'t what he seemed.....so I give you The Ballad of \\nRandolph Scott.'
