We get a couple of mentions, as indeed they did last week. The Planet Reigate podcast, of course, covering, yes, Reigate, but also the satellite towns and villages in kind of Reigate's orbit. You get what we kind of go with there. Reigate, Redhill, Merston, Buckland, Betchworth, Brockham. And yes, I had a chat with someone recently who said, do you cover Lye? Yes, we do. Do you cover Charlwood?
Yes. Yes, we do. Do you cover Hookwood? Yes. Salford? Yes. It was like a quiz. It really was. And as I often say, we don't do Oxted or Godston. We don't do Gatwick and Crawley. We don't do Dorking. We don't even do Banstead. So sorry, guys, if you're in those areas and you want a similar podcast for you, get in touch with me. we can perhaps sort something out.
