It seems that the idea of inviting a bunch of folk into your home in order to maintain a version of Radio Caroline was not necessarily a good one.
Apart from all the naughty DJs coming in at all hours and playing their rock’n’roll and crazy guitar hero type beats at full volume and keeping the old lady in the next bedroom awake, there’s the issue of who keeps things running and dealing with the automation when it frequently falls over.
Well, in typical Caroline Maidstone style of course, this’ll be down to the poor fellow who let them into to his home in the first place, even though he didn’t realise this would be the case when he helpfully invited them in after they were thrown out of their previous squat.
I’m hearing that enough is enough and Caroline Maidstone has been given its marching orders. It has to relocate within the next 10 weeks or quite fairly the plug will just be pulled on its operation. The Caroline countdown is on.
So, the quest is on for a new sucker, erm, I meant a new volunteer to let the radio station inhabit his or her spare bedroom. Can you help?
If you are near Maidstone (because we wouldn’t want the nurses that drive the volunteers having to drive too far now, would we) maybe you’d like to offer your facilities to this legendary bedroom radio station.
I certainly would if I lived south of the Thames. But I don’t, so I can’t. If they want to move operations up to East London I’d certainly welcome them with open arms. Or is that fully loaded arms with the safety catch off. I’m never sure.
Can you help Caroline Mattress bounce back?
And finally: Why are the presenters not allowed to mention that they are looking for a new bedroom? Apparently they’ll be thrown off the station if they mention it on air or are caught discussing it with ‘enemies of the station’ or on message boards, and will never be allowed onto Caroline Maidstone again (unless they prove themselves by attacking me, the usual pre-requisite for being welcomed back into the fold).
They’ve been told that the vast majority of their listeners aren’t actually interested in where the studio is, and that’s the reason it must remain secret. Interesting. If the vast majority of listeners don’t care where the studio is, why does Caroline Maidstone try to live off the fact that the unlicensed free radio station Radio Caroline had its studios on a boat in the North Sea? Hmmm?
