The PCUK volunteers are a pleasant, patient and passionate lot. They have to be with some of the places they visit and the people that they talk to. However, press the right or maybe I should have said wrong button and they can get very passionate. Think of being attacked by a cuddly penguin and you are on the right track.Read More »

radio I briefly mentioned Alberto and his dad in my last blog. Alberto had interrupted myself and Charles dispensing TV justice to thank me for the prostate cancer talk that I did in the workplace a few weeks previously. He was to go on and have a story that left me open mouthed.
