I enjoyed working at BBC Radio Birmingham from 1973 to 77. Colleagues included Les Ross, & Celia Marks amongst others. In 77 I joined Radio Television Hong Kong, then moving into PR with Duty Free Shoppers who were delighted for me to keep broadcasting as a Freelance as well. I stayed in Hong Kong until 1993. I ended up here in East Sussex spending over 26 years in local politics with East Sussex County Council & Wealden District Council. I was also Chairman of East Sussex Association for the Blind. Some will recall I had an artificial eye from a childhood accident. Now fully retired! Would love to hear from former colleagues.
