Part 1: Hellos & Menu
Parts 2 & 3: Jubilee Olympic Boost?
I want to know how you think the Olympics are going to go now you’ve seen how well we handled the Diamond Jubilee celebrations. Not that there haven’t been problems these past four days with terrible weather, transport issues and some truly dismal coverage by the trusted BBC. Have your hopes and expectations for the Games had a boost, that’s what I want to know.
We’ll take plenty of calls on that before it’s over to Dan for the rest of the day’s headlines.
Part 4: Today’s Papers
Part 5: Innocent Play Or Sex Assault?
Then: we’re going to look at the case of the six-year-old boy who pulled down a little girl’s skirt to see her rude bits. Was that innocent play or sexual assault? They maybe miles from puberty but kids as young five do experience sexual feelings - but they have no idea where those feelings come from or what they mean - so this little boy was behaving innocently, right, or was he?
Part 6: Plus-Size Clothing: Encourage Obesity?
After that: Does plus size clothing encourage obesity? More and more outlets are marketing clothes to dress size 36 and XXXXL for men, presumably to cater for our ballooning figures - but do supersize clothes encourage over eating by removing the shame and stigma of being unable to find anything in regular sizes?
Part 7: What’s The Point Of Hats?
And finally: What’s the point of hats, ladies? We saw a procession of them at the Queen’s Thanksgiving service yesterday; you girls are often expected to wear one to weddings, funeral and christenings. They cost a fortune, are difficult to store always seem to get in the way and drive the wearer mad so what’s the point?

Can people stop using the term work experience to describe the work of those stewards it was unpaid work. Either way they were treated terribly. Work experience is short term voluntary work where a person and place of work come together and the person does some tasks yes but is never treated as an employee to gain knowledge of a specific work environment. Work experiebce is part of courses as a taster of a certain environment, voluntary is unpaid work where the person chooses to help out a place of work and the place is happy to get help, volunteers are never forced to do things they cannot do or dont want to do or cannot come in. Work experience and volunteers are never forced to do things they cannot or incapable of doing. Unpaid work is a persons choice although they can be treated as an employee without payment and treated badly. This is people working as employees as treated badly although there should be no reason to treat anyone badly.

I wore a hat at a wedding once and hated every minute. Why should women (or men for that matter) have to conform to ridiculous out-dated practices. I didn't hear the reference to Tony Blair today but yes Matthew does to on about him far too much - there are many more worse MPs in the current cabinet! By the way, thanks Matthew for having Mark Little and Janet Ellis on, so much better than the likes of Peter Stringfellow (had to switch off when he came on).

Is it 'WrightStuff' or 'Have a go at Tony Blair' programe. Another rehearsed attack on Tony Blair by channel 5 conducted by MW. Channel 5 should stop broadcasting its biased views and have respect for broadcasting regulations.
