Why is a duck in my podcast? I hear you say. Well, I need your help. We live in a water stressed area and this can affect our local environment, even in the winter. By making small everyday changes, you can save water and money of your bills. Try popping a tap jacket on your outside tap. This protects pipes from freezing, stopping leaks and tire water use.

Good morning and welcome to the Independent Republic of Mike Graham right here on Talk TV.

companies want you to stop having our showers. Not because they want you to be filthy and dirty

and disgusting, but they say it's going to ruin the water supply because we're going to run out of water.

Unbelievable. We've got a royal exclusive on the front page of the Daily Mail. They say that the Sussex still won't admit to whether or not they're going to come to the coronation.
