News conferences, long questions, self driving vehicles, bugs, tidy tip, ice-cream, Solent Ships. EP 170

Published: June 16, 2021, 2:20 p.m.

We’re back after a couple of weeks off. Andy asks why journalists ask such long questions at the Downing Street news conference. In Transport Corner, Nick asks what’s the point of self-driving vehicles? a fully autonomous ship… and electric Royal Mail vans. Andy has a bug in the room. Cameras in radio studios… its supposed to be radio so why watch on the TV? Andy tells us about funny flavoured ice-cream. There’s a paint disaster and a visit to the “tidy tip”. Plus… what retailer has done well during the pandemic? Andy says he’s happy not to go away on an aeroplane. There’s more weird jaffa cake flavours. Finally… Nick recommends on YouTube… “Solent Ships”. This fantastic channel shows you the real-time comings and goings of the ferries between Southampton and the Isle of Wight. It's addictive!
