The promise that I issue to you is that by one o'clock today, you will know more than you do now.

LBC 97.3 Mystery Hour with James O'Brien.

Three minutes after 12, this is Mystery Hour. Your weekly opportunity to achieve satisfaction.

Sounds vaguely indecent. It's a deliberate entendre. I would also give you a quick heads-up on an email that's come in in response to the conversation we had in the first part of the program today about the scars left on adults by childhood bullying. And even against the backdrop of the incredibly poignant tales and testimony we heard, Dan, this email has really stopped me in my tracks.

I shall read that to you before the end of this hour as well, I promise.

Before that, though, it is your opportunity to book a place on the board.

0845-60609-73 is a number to call.

This hour and most hours, to be honest, you'll only hear me say the number when I have phone lines free. It gets very, very busy in a matter of moments. But if you hear me say the number, it means there's at least one phone line into the building free. If you've got a question to which you've been unable to find an answer, this is your opportunity to get it.

It's a who, why, where, any sort of question. The only rules are repetition and dullness.

So if we decide the question is dull, which we almost certainly will, if it's linked to motoring,

we won't put it on the board. Think of it as this simple, really, will somebody who I've never

met listening to this radio program be interested

in the answer to the question I want to get an answer to? And if you think the answer to that

is yes, if you think most people would be, chances are that you'll snuck under the dullness

threshold. Repetition, of course, you can't really help. There is a Mystery Hour website,

mystery our archive at lbc.co.com. But I appreciate you're probably on the hoof anyway, so you may not be able to check

whether the question you want to ask has already been answered.

It's up to us to try and police that territory as effectively as we can.

Listen, I could go on, but I don't think I will.

If you've never heard this before, you're in for a treat,

and you'll work out pretty quickly how it works.

Steve's in Twickenham. Steve, question or answer?
