Leave behind the radio, warm beer, fish and chips, cricket on the vollage green in long summer evenings.

Unfortunately, we have also left that behind in England. Now it's vodka, puking and fighting.

Fight! Fight!! Fight!!!

Go on, Biggles, bash his 'kin 'ead in! 'ave the dirty bastard!!!

Yeah you tell her Expat, Threaded. That should put the 84 year old woman in her place.

Oh right, well if she's 84 then things that apply to normal adults don't apply and I'd better not express any opinions then.
(isn't "her place" somewhere she feels at home?)

Hi,

Can some of you expats tell me how to get BBC radio stations on the continent please?

Personally I don't believe you should be able to. Enough of this universal MacCulture! If you go somewhere, go. Leave behind the radio, warm beer, fish and chips, cricket on the vollage green in long summer evenings.... Don't turn everywhere into Euromush.

I should have qualified the question by saying internet isn't really an option, because the mother-in-law and her mother want something they can listen to in their bedrooms or out in the garden. Something portable.

t'internet - and turn up your speakers!!!

Always glad to help.

The Glory days will return Franco, have no fear of that. They never really went away, we're just lulling Chel$ki into a false sense of security...

I doubt it - I have heard that DAB signals are weaker than FM, so they would have to broadcast locally.

I like your avatar Mordac and the fact that you don't feel ashamed of that those days.

[Mordac]

Would a digital radio enable them to get the lot?

Cheers

Q: Am I right in thinking one of these little World Radio's would only pick up BBC World Service and maybe Radio 4 LW?
A: Yes.

Q: Would a digital radio enable them to get the lot?
A: No.

Internet or Sky is the only realistic option. Possibly a local cable/satellite company carries them. Perhaps you could record every day's transmission of Radio 2 onto a disk for them and post it to them. Then they can get the true ex-pat experience with all the news a few days old.
