Best of Brakfast Episode 174 Yana Bolder
You can go years without hearing them, but the moment they play, you are instantly transported back. Sitting cross-legged on the carpet. Tea on your lap. Parents talking in the background. For Generation X, TV theme tunes were not just intros, they were events. Before binge watching and streaming, theme tunes mattered. They set the tone, built anticipation, and told you exactly what kind of show you were about to […]
Broadcaster Kirsty Gallacher has called for more police on the streets and stronger action on violence against women and girls after she was attacked last year. She said she was assaulted by a man while walking to her car after work in central London, but he has never been found. Speaking on UK Tonight with Sarah Jane Mee on Sky, Gallacher said the man turned around and kicked her hard, […]
For Generation X, the high street café was more than a place to grab a drink—it was a social hub, a meeting point, and often a slice of everyday magic. From Lyons Corner Houses to Wimpy bars and greasy spoons tucked between shops, these cafés defined how we spent our free time. The Glory Days of the High Street Café In the 1970s and 80s, high streets were lined with […]
We are about to enter a world without nuclear arms control as the last remaining treaty limiting the arsenals of Russia and the United States expires on Thursday. For the first time in more than half a century, there will be no legal limits on missiles and warheads, raising fears the world is on the brink of a new arms race. Moscow based analyst Vasily Kashin called the situation serious. […]
For many of us in Generation X, radio was more than background noise—it was a lifeline to music, culture, and discovery. Before streaming playlists and on-demand apps, the songs that came through the speakers could make a week feel brighter, a journey longer, or a Saturday night unforgettable. The Power of Radio Radio had a magic that no other medium could replicate. DJs curated playlists, introduced new artists, and gave […]
It has been confirmed that Andrew Mountbatten Windsor has moved from Royal Lodge and is now living in Norfolk. This is understood to be the first phase of a longer move which may take time. Royal correspondent Rhiannon Mills says he is staying on the Sandringham Estate as temporary accommodation, with a further move expected once final arrangements are completed. Two people have died after a light aircraft crashed in […]
Ask anyone from Generation X about Sundays growing up and you will probably hear the same thing. They felt long. Not boring, just slower. Spacious. Like the day stretched out in a way that never quite happens now. Part of it was the simple fact that nothing was in a rush. Shops were shut or closed early, buses were limited, and there was no sense that you had to be […]
The Metropolitan Police says it is aware of the latest release of files linked to Jeffrey Epstein and confirms it has received a number of reports about alleged misconduct in a public office. Commander Ella Marriott said the reports would be reviewed to decide whether they meet the criminal threshold for investigation, adding that any new relevant information would be assessed and investigated as appropriate. She said the process would […]
For many of us, Sunday has always felt different. Quieter. Slower. A day that runs at its own pace. One of the biggest reasons for that feeling is something so familiar we barely question it anymore: shortened Sunday shopping hours. Long before 24 hour supermarkets and online next day delivery, Sundays in the UK were treated as a genuine pause in the week. Shops were shut, streets were calmer, and […]
Five-year prison sentences for advertising illegal migration routes on social media are coming into force under new powers. Changes under the Border Security, Asylum and Immigration Act will be enforced from Monday. Police and border officers will no longer need to prove online adverts led to crossings, as was required previously, and can now prosecute proactively when they identify postings. Border Security Minister Alex Norris told the PA news agency […]
