Well. Considering the number of you that listen to R4 perhaps we should tell the BBC of their followers in MEW and ME perhaps they might put some engineering programmes on either telly or radio you never know

But don't hold you breath waiting for it lol

best regards

Perhaps it started with Drivetime Radio 2 but I still prefer Radio 2 for general background sound, however there is a special magic in whistling a happy tune along to my old Atlas lathe when I've got a long traverse on and then getting all the harmonics that bounce back off the chuck jaws. Or is just my tinitus?

I've never listened to much music on the radio. Even with the programmes that play music I like (which are few), the inane drivel that the DJs come out with soon puts me off.

Hi Guys

Having just read a post where the author could not decide whether to go into the shop, or listen to an audio book. This prompts me to ask . When in the shop, what do you listen to? Radio ( what station ) CDs, what type of music. Tapes, music or Audio book. I personlly tend to have Radio 4 on myself not really listening to it, but now and again something catches my ear which is interesting. So, what do you listen to?

best regards

Dave.

If I'm in the mood for an accompaniment its Radio 4 (I walweays time my trips to the tip for the Archer's Omnibus). I like most types of music, as long as its donw well or with feeling, but the workshop is for the sort of music that doesn't go down well with the senior management (at least at a decent volume) – anything from Fairport Convention via Black Sabbath and Hawkwind to Soft Machine My daughter has been getting me into Muse, the Black Veil Brides and Evanescence.

Years ago I would half-listen to favourite radio programmes of the time, but not now. There are often little irritations that are unwanted in the workshop.

I don't want to dilute the sheer pleasure of workshop faffing, not to mention the concentration required.

At work in the mornings radio 3 followed by radio 2 for the rest of the day, My workshop is silence, most of my listening is vinyl (rock, classical, jazz) on a real hifi in my lounge sorry but i-pods & mp3 really dont do music anygood.

Living in smoggieland I listen to radio Tees; my favourite programme is vintage vinyl on a Sunday afternoon, all the good old stuff from the forties right through to the sixties sometimes into the seventies, Ahhhhh bring back Mario Lanza, Dean Martin,Doris Day, the Searchers,Hollies, Shadows, Hermans Hermits,The Beatles, Gerry & the Pacemakers,Buddy Holly, Richie Valance ,The Big Bopper, Roy Orbison, Helen Shapiro,Kathy Kirby et al… Yep, the whole gamut, & I am not distracted when using machinery, just nice background music.

ps. I do listen to the 'Boro matches on a Sat' too…more's the pity, always have had a sinking feeling when the match starts, must have a masochistic streak in me .

Judging from the posts, there is strong evidence to support the findings that we mere males are not well equipped to handle more than one undertaking at a time, especially when we have to concentrate.

Unlike our delightful ladies who are well able to multi-task, and who think it strange that we find it so difficult.
