Dull Man Driving

You'll love this one ... it's a trip back in time to Spring 1973, when glam-rock ruled the medium-wave airways, Are You Being Served? was on TV, industrial action brought the country to its knees and Austin launched the brand new Allegro motorcar. Yes, when you think about it, life was pretty shit back then. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

You'll love this one - I talk about a special day from my boyhood, when I was just 6 years old, in the Spring of 1973. I then 'fast-forward' 11 years to my first ever job, at Armitage Shanks. Yes, you've seen that name when you're sitting quietly in a small room, deep in thought. I also recount an ancient story from Babylon, which reveals the FIVE LAWS of HOW TO MAKE MONEY. You can't AFFORD to mis...

You'll love this one - I talk about a business trip (car journey, of course) to Sheffield and then on to the North East, and how I took part in a trial for table-service at Costa. I also talk about Social Media, The Wedding Present (great band) and introduce a fabulous new game called 'Guess the make of truck'. And if all that isn't enough, I also put it to you, dear fellow driver, that business i...

You'll love this one - it's the concluding part of Diary of a Sales Rep from 1998; it was the FIRST PODCAST EVER MADE! I also give an exciting step-by-step guide of how a flat-pack shower cubicle was delivered to a city centre Birmingham hotel in the back of a Ford Sierra (2.0 GL in Crystal Blue, E reg - nice motor!) in 1988. And if that wasn't enough, I also confess to having a keen interest in u...

You'll love this one - I talk about company cars and how I got my start, and began building a career, in the cut-throat world of Sales . In the second half of this episode, I introduce the FIRST PODCAST EVER MADE! - it's a rare recording of Diary of a Sales Rep (Part 1) from 1998. A slice of podcasting history, no less.

You'll love this one - I tell my fellow drivers all about the origins of the M25 motorway - and take a trip back in time to 1972, when construction of London's orbital route was just getting underway. I also explain what we all did for home entertainment in the 1970s and 1980s (basically, we just watched telly), and how VHS out lived Betamax. Hosted on Acast.

An introduction to A Dull Man Driving - a new podcast to entertain and educate (perhaps?) as you drive along the overcrowded, potholed roads of Britain. In this first episode, I talk about old style map books, bad sat navs and courtesy (or lack of it) on the road. 'Just let one in', for heaven's sake! Hosted on Acast.
