Very, very early on, when in-flight entertainment was starting to come round, and this must have been in the mid-90s, I was employed to go to this tiny little TV studio recording booth over a hair salon in Hawley, not far from the Waitrose.

and record a voiceover for various news events onto video, onto the old videocassettes, which were then biked down to, obviously, Gatwick Airport, and they were playing these videocassettes on Virgin Atlantic flights. So, yeah, I remember that. I remember the Waitrose site. And also another message here from Phil. He said the game bird as the air balloon was. Yeah, of course it was the game bird.

Absolutely. The air balloon is quite new, really, isn't it? As a name, as a concept, the game bird as it was back in the 90s. We've got a similar kind of timeline, Phil. Rammed full of 20-somethings, high on life and looking forward to a party every weekend. It even had a plane hanging from the ceiling. And then they killed it. Someone should have gone to prison for what they did to that pub.

The air balloon, he says, with emojis of him slapping his forehead. Fast forward to now and little. Entertainment killed off. for yet another supermarket, the Gamebird RIP. Well, maybe you remember the Gamebird pub. Maybe you remember some other local pubs in the area. Maybe you want to get in touch and tell me what you remember.

Yeah, just listening to that, I can point out that Catherine bought me a coffee this past week. Catherine says, thank you so much indeed for supporting the Redhill Letter Writing Group. More of that a little bit later on. They write for the charity From Me to You. We love the podcast, says Catherine. Catherine, thanks very much indeed. Also mentioned that WhatsApp number a few moments ago.

And I only had a WhatsApp earlier on this last week from Richard Biggs. the leader of Reigate and Banstead Borough Council, who dropped me a line with something that he wanted my help and assistance with. Nothing political, incidentally, just something else. He's a man who's got fingers in lots of pies, because, as you know, this is a totally apolitical programme.

Also, I had an email from the new pool hall, which has opened up in Redhill, which we've mentioned a few times on the programme before. And hopefully working with them in the not too distant future as well. And they contact me regularly. via email a few days ago as well, which is absolutely fantastic. So all those people have got in contact through those various ways. You may want to as well.

If you miss those details, just rewind on your podcast player or slide that little kind of slider back if you're listening on maybe the website. Had a message from a few people on social media during the course of the week. Georgie Lucas said, thank you for publicising our event. It's a great show, by the way.

And also had a message from Elaine, because we publicised, didn't we, the Donnings Indoor Bowling Club last week on the programme. And she says, thanks, guys. I've listened. Absolutely brilliant. The events have passed our hopes with 125 people through the doors. I wonder how many of those came after listening to the Planet Reigate podcast.

All really surprised how technical the bowling was and how social the club was as well. Thanks. We love what you're doing over there. So really appreciate your comment as well. Thanks very much indeed for getting involved. Okay, this is the Planet Rygate podcast.
