I was wondering if you could consider being a judge at our cake competition for our school in Hawley on Saturday, the 29th of June. Well, actually, I can't for a couple of reasons. First of all, because I'm on my holidays that particular weekend. But secondly, I may have mentioned it, I'm a celiac. Now, I will go a long way for the Planet Rygate podcast, but...

Last week on the show, I mentioned about the history of the Reigate pageants, didn't I? And it was really excellent to read some of your feedback on that.
