Radio Most important tool?

[Matthew77]

Hi all

I think the radio and the kettle are very close contenders for sanity at work

Is anyone sick of hearing radio 1 or 2 every day on site for the last 10 years? If i hear another Jo whiley show I'm ....anyway.

I'm going to hopefully be working on my own in a few weeks so will have the choice of what i listen to on the radio. So I'm thinking of getting myself a Digital radio for a bit more variety in stations.

Question is Does anyone here use a decent digital radio they'd recommend as all the ones i've looked at seem a little bit fragile for on site?

Thanks in advance

Matthew

if i had my way all radios would be baned from site i think it wrong and rude that everybody has to listen to somebody else's noise
:yes:

Put your ear plugs in pete....lol lol....

Why is it that nearly all site workers especially the older ones ( not me ) listen to radio 2.....i hate terry wogan........

I,m pleased i work on my own then i listen to what i want....at a reasonable noise level as well... i know wot pete means coz some peeps have there radios on full blast so the whole site can hear it...i have mine load enough for me to hear ....

i was under the impression that radios were banned on sites now...health and safety....

 

[DHTiling]

I finished the last site i am going to do in may and they still listened to them then..but i think it depends on the site...i know you are not allowed to play music to more than a set amount of peeps without a music licence....

read these it might make things clearer....

Thats what i'm talking about, gotta be worth getting a dab radio just to listen to planet rawk.

I always ask the customersw if its ok,I'd seriously consider not doing the job if I couldn't have my radio on.On site alot I seem to be the only one with a radio.
I always listen to Radio one but if theres alot of old farts around Dave or Gaz's age I'll put the local radio station on to make it fair.
A painter the other day asked me if I would change radio 1 for radio 2 for him cause he loves Steve Wright,that was 2 weeks ago and I still haven't stopped laughing.

Seriously working by yourself I need my radio to keep me sane.
