Sunday Sarnie 3: "Throwing knickers at Tim Farron..." - Ether AudioZine

August 01, 2015

Join Nick Brownlee and Sarah Ledger as they take a sidelong look at the news making the headlines in Cumbria.

This week Nick returns from his holidays to discover very little has happened, apart from Tom Jones appearing in Carlisle, Ant McPartlin having his lunch in Ambleside (http://www.thewestmorlandgazette.co.uk/news/13508964.Television_presenter_Ant_McPartlin_calls_in_at_Ambleside_cafe/?ref=mr&lp=8), and Cumbrian MP Tim Farron being elected leader of the Liberal Democrats (http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2015/jul/16/tim-farron-named-liberal-democrat-party-leader). But who gets the most knickers thrown at them?

Meanwhile Sarah discovers her tumble drier has become a bumble drier, Cumbria is rocked by an alleged conspiracy of Watergate proportions, and David Soul apparently charges £40,000 for a personal appearance.

Special guest this week is Ed Rutherford of Tullie House museum (http://www.tulliehouse.co.uk/), who explains all about a new exhibition aimed at taking us on a trip down memory lane...well, Sarah at least.
