I'd blown a tyre on my car and had to pull over on Rygate Road. I stood waiting for the breakdown company to arrive when a car pulled over, two gentlemen sprung into action and put my spare tyre on for me. They then followed me down the road to ensure I arrived home safely.

I honestly can't thank them enough for their help and for making me feel safe and at ease in an area I'm not yet familiar with. That just speaks volumes, doesn't it, of the people that live in the Planet Reigate area, and particularly to those two gentlemen and their basic mechanics on our new residence car. Thank you to them. And they get a sprinkle of Stardust.

And I'm Peter Stewart. Well, I've said a few times, haven't I, during the course of the show today, that if you've lived in the area for, say, 20, 30, 40 years, to stay listening, because I've got some nostalgia to bring you right at the end of the show. And it is that time. As you may know, I run the Planet Reigate podcast in my spare time. I love the area and enjoy radio and audio production.

My first flat was in Red Hill and I've worked at various radio stations across the southeast my entire career. And that includes Radio Mercury, which was the commercial radio station for, as its licence said, Crawley and Reigate. It was based near where the K2 is now in Crawley. And I remember reporting across the area.

In the early days of my career, and specifically in this neck of the woods, an election count at Donnings interviewing Joanna Lumley at the opening of the Belfry, for example. It was really great to be on the radio station for where I lived. Now, I wasn't actually employed at Radio Mercury when it started. I was still at school.

But I always had an interest in journalism and radio, and my work experience was on the local newspaper. And I managed to persuade the editor that the opening of the new radio station was something that I should go along and cover. So it was that... Forty years ago this weekend, on October the 20th, 1984, my mum drove me down to the studios at Broadfield House. I was too young to drive myself.
