This programme was broadcast at 10 a.m. and consisted of music played at a brisk tempo.According to my father this was to encourage workers listening to it to work harder.I used to hear it coming from the Sears shoe factory opposite my grandmother's house in Stimpson Avenue,Northampton.The factory girls would sing along to popular tunes above the noise of the machinery.I always thought that I would love to get in there and join in the fun.
The building is still there but the shoe factory is long gone and it has been converted into some rather smart apartments.
