I listen to it in the car quite often. Listen to the 90s one more than I thought I would. Shame Absolute 70s isn't on DAB though.

I'm fucking sick of that Scouse girl in the Royal Navy advert on there though. Especially the way she says "ponies".

It was Rio, Gaz. They now have Spandau Ballet on but it's an obscure one, one called Musclebound
