Early Start

Better set the alarm as I'm working early in the morning. I'm reading the breakfast news bulletins on BBC Radio Manchester, so it means getting up at 4am. I'd forgotten there was another four o'clock in the day!

Once the alarm goes off and I'm up I don't mind the early start, least I get to finish early!

I get to work with Terry Christian, the gobby Manc who you'll know from when he presented `The Word` on Channel 4.

He's an interesting character, very opinionated and proud of his Manchester roots above all else. Sometimes I think that clouds his judgement, but have a listen to www.bbc.co.uk/manchester see what you think. You'll hear me doing the bulletins too.
