This is LBC from Global, leading Britain's conversation, mystery hour with James O'Brien.

Five minutes after 12, I was just sort of checking all my screens and feeds to make sure that we are on relatively thick ice as we embark upon our weekly adventure into rather shallower waters than we usually inhabit at the moment.

This is your weekly opportunity to achieve the sort of satisfaction, not ordinarily available anywhere else on your radio dial.

We deal with whys and watts, wherefores and wences, even the occasional wither.

got a decent collection of questions,

we start asking them on screen and you will, or on air even, and you will be able to ring in
