established at its present site for coming up to 20 years

beginning to wear out
Nathan
Turvey left the safety of his studio at Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Hereford and Worcester
to become a bag-man at a local supermarket.
As part of the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Hereford and Worcester Money Marathon Nathan
agreed to spend the afternoon bagging up shoppers goods at a supermarket
in Bromsgrove.
One small snag was that Nathan was also broadcasting his Drivetime
programme at the same time.
This meant he needed one hand to hold a microphone and another to
hold a clipboard... all of which made actually packing anything
very difficult.
Fortunately he had an army of helpers - well three people - from
the Primrose hospice to help deal with the actual business of packing
the bags.
He did manage to raise Β£192.37 for the money marathon.
To wax or not to wax
Nathan's decision to do the shopping followed a text vote on his
show as to whether he should pack shopping or have his legs waxed
to raise money.
The shopping vote was a narrow winner - with cries of "fix"
being heard from Nathan's colleagues at Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Hereford and Worcester.
Now rumours are circulating that because he didn't do much actual
packing Nathan may agree to be waxed live on air if enough people
pledge money for the appeal.
If you want to pledge money you can do so on Nathan's special message
board.
