    Big panic here in Barking...

    Some thief is nicking our number plates in our car park just so they can attach them to their cars and escape paying for petrol, paying the London congestion charge and further more can rob banks, etc… and what come backs have they got? None. Only the poor people who lose their plates to these sinister people actually get the law on their backs… because it seems like it’s them that are breaking the law! Not really nice is it!Car

    Our Tune - Episode 1

    Back in the late 80’s I remember listening to my AM radio and tuning into Radio 1 around about the 9AM slot (which tells you that I must have been bunking school at the time but that’s another story). I can always remember that Simon Bates’s Our Tune would be on, with Simon giving you, the dear listener a kind of ‘love’ come ’sob’ true story of a loving couple that would end with you feeling tearful or/and heart broken (that’s whether the ending was happy or sad). What a killer that always was.

    Talking about killing, sadly Radio 1 dropped Simon Bates and with him Our Tune too. For a while he appeared on Sky One with Our Tune on the telly (which wasn’t quite the same as the radio version). Now Simon has re-appeared on Classic FM but sadly without his Our Tune segment.

    Today, imagine my happiness when I stumbled upon this Our Tune sound clip found off of the Internet. Not quite Simon Bates, not quite a tear jerker but instead very funny all the same.

    My thanks to Iain Lee’s Shindiggery for bringing this back to life (or maybe killing it).

    It's business as usual....

    Looks like somebody tried to take over my website again. What does someone get out of taking my crummy old site over? Well, does anyone know any hackers from Korea? Because that’s where his IP is based

    It's been a while...

    …but I have been busy don’t you know!

    After spending time at the London Wines Fair and then yesterday spending time in Rotterdam on business matters I now welcome a much deserved rest… but can I really take a nap in the office?

    Business trip to Rotterdam

    The Boss (my dad, Derek Johnson) in action.

    The Finance guy (Phil Francis) in action.

    I admit these photos do not show our people in the right light (so to speak) but I certainley had a great day with our friends from WEC/HMS lines.

    Having a beak at Macky Dees

    My little mate likes to listen to every other persons’ conversations. I just can’t beat it!
