Being bored over the weeked and elated about actually finding a new job means I've run up a time-travelling news from thirty years time just for a bit of fun.
In the fab new crazy world of gleam and shine and free love to all mankind what will Wesworld be doing, what will they be eating and what will the pastimes be...
A flash forward to teatime August Bank Holdiay 1967 with commerical radio and the six o'clock news...
... and that was The Who’s latest single from their new LP and this is DJ Rick O’Shea aboard the lightship SS. Freedom in the Thames Estuary broadcasting for London Radio signing off until next week. Hang loose and stay cool!

Henry had no fun, had a face like a currant bun,
This sad old little fella’ is nicknamed by his friends old yellow,
The doctors gave him pills and lotions to try to sooth the boy’s emotions,
But all in vain the acne stayed and his hopes began to fade,
Then when just about to crack found another cream Medac!
When in the mirror he peered pimples all had disappeared,
Henry laughed and yelled like a nutter, face is like a baby’s bottom

This is the Radio London; this is the 6 o’clock news.
Here are the headlines today.
First, riots yesterday in the seaside resort of Brighton caused thousands of pounds of damage and scared holiday makers as a gang of nearly thousand youths entered the Grand Hotel in pursuit of two leather-clad Rockers.
South Coast police say if the fights between rival gangs of Mods and Rockers continue stricter security measures will be enforced at railways stations in London and along the south coast.
The Prime Minister, Mr Wilson, today confirmed that the three-week strike at British Missiles Ltd has ended and that the contract to supply ground-to-ground rockets to the Arabian Confederation will go ahead as planned.
In the Commons today the Minister of Defence, Mr Benn confirmed the RAF would receive 120 BAC TSR.2 bombers by 1970 and that Australia and Canada would shortly be receiving their first production bombers. Mr Benn said today that world peace would be enforced by the new RAF bombers and that Britain and its allies and colonies were safe from foreign aggression.
The ten week sit-in at the Metropolitan London University ended today as the supplies of baked beans and beer ran out and the starving students felt they had made their point. A lanky spotty-looking spokesman said, “We’ve shown the reactionary conservative elites that we can stand for principles and world peace in a principled fashion with total freedom from the repression of the mind caused by narrow-mindedness caused by the police state crushing good will and free love.” The university refused to comment on whether it would be meeting the demands of the students for a one-day working week, free dope and the installation of beds for afternoon naps in lecture halls.
Crowds flocked to see the Chilean nuclear submarine Libertad which surfaced in the River Mersey today nearly colliding with the Mersey ferry. The crew on their world circumnavigation attempt it seems had got lost and were asking for directions to the Bahamas.
In America President Kennedy was present at the launch of Apollo 11 which is due to be the first American Moon landing some ten months after the Atlantean Lazarus 9 mission made the first ever Moon landing. Professor Quatermass of the British Rocket Group today said he hoped the first British mission using his atomic-powered rocket would take place next year.
The US Government has apologised to Satsuma for the recent crisis when a SAC commander, Maj General Jack D. Ripper launched his entire air wing of B-70 supersonic bombers and gave the orders to bomb Satsuma targets with H-bombs to prevent them from “corrupting our precious bodily fluids”. Luckily the wing was recalled in time by SAC command and the now dead commander is judged to have been insane.
In Bern the International Nuclear Disarmament Conference is still locked in stalemate as the Chinese representative stormed out after being insulted by the Canadian delegate and as news of a further H-bomb test by the South African Empire broke, several members left the chamber.
In Japan a thousand mourners were at the funeral of Ohisino “Crash” Manzo who died earlier this month. He was killed by a bus whilst crossing the road in his home town. A hundred former relieved colleagues and pilots from across the world attended and his coffin arrived in a special jet-powered aircraft hearse and from the airport to the burial ground by four-rotor helicopter.
That concludes today’s headlines. We’ll be back after a short break.
