The two painters outside, one armed with white gloss the other with green undercoat, had Radio 1 on all day. Radio 1 is supposed to be for "young people" which they undoubtedly are, each possessed of hair on the crown of their heads, and a humour rich in impenetrable nuances. They may as well be speaking Spanish.
Inside, Radio 2 blares, in between bouts of static from various power tools. Radio 2 appeals more to the balding tradesperson, although on closer inspection is basically Radio 1 as it was about 25 years ago, the only difference being that news bulletins about GCSE results and the like have been replaced with trafffic congestion reports.
In the afternoon i was able to experience an unusual stereo effect on account of the painters radio being next to a curved glass sash window, that someone during a momentary lapse has managed to put a hole through.
At the end of the day I would say on balance that as far as inane drivel goes Radio 1 came out a clear winner.
