  Hope this isn't deemed off topic, but I've been trying to catch up with yesterday's PM as I had to go out part way through. The link on the blog doesn't seem to work. As today's programme is due to start in 40 minutes, does anyone know how I may be able to catch up with yesterday's programme at another time?

  Re my 1 (and I post this in case others find the same problem). I've just done an experiment and it would appear that the problem lies with the 'normal' version (which was what I was trying to do). There is a lower bandwith option (you have to click on the normal version button first), and once you are offered this option, clicking on it will allow you to listen to PM.
  
  I've never had this problem before, and am wondering if it is related to the way the new Blog is set up.

  My friend told me that they send the old balls at Wimbledon to the over 45's mens doubles.

  Why have we changed Henman Hill to Murray Mound
  I think this is wrong, it was named after him when he
  represented England at Wimbledon and beening English it
  should stay as Henman Hill. cheering for Federer.

  Welfare reform;
  
  Gosh, a middle class sounding unemployed single parent! They do exist then!?
  
  Obviously I realise. The interview with the single mother; Doesn't it just put paid to that stereotypical image of the advert of the mother taking in ironing trying to make ends meet. Oh, we know they exist but where are is the hard number crunching evidence that breaks down individuals into real entities? oh, I forgot, you don't do this when all you want to do is oppress and coerce. Well done to that brave women
  
  Why only the people in receipt of benefits getting vilified in government propaganda adverts. I guess its down to the level of the threat they are seen as. More than crooked bankers, MPs and gold pensioned lackey civil servants.

  How many claims for expenses by MPs would have been deemed fraudulent under DWP benefit rules?

  "Henman Hill ...... named after him when he represented England at Wimbledon"
  
  Funny that. And I always thought that the Wimbledon Championships were open to individuals - not national representatives.

  2 things about Wimbledon. First it is on too much and why dosen`t the BBC show some horse-racing instead. Second, please get rid of Gary Richardson and his awful fawning interviews which make your toes curl.

  Henman Hill. At times renamed as Rusedski Rise, I think, for Greg Rusedski, the Canadian who represented... well, Britain or the UK - please correct me here.
  
  btw, the tartan rug underneath the Glass Box has been noted...
  
  It's all academic now, anyway (sob).

  The women's final will be good, with Venus Williams representing the Williams family of the USA playing Serena Williams representing the Williams family of the USA

  Frances, not only a tartan rug but looks like real 'Scotch thistles'.
  
  Carolyn, I was really enjoying PM but you made the tennis sound so exciting I just had to go and watch it!
  
  Such a pity about Andy Murray but Roddick seems a decent guy and I'm sure the final will be exciting - though perhaps not quite as exciting as the game this afternoon.

  Agreed. Very close match between Roddick and Murray. Federer looked much stronger than either.
  
  As with the Ryder Cup, I'm happy to support a European against an Amwerican.

  The biggest loser at Wombledon is surely Gordon B and his crew.
  
  A British winner would have masked a load of the nafarious incompetancies which seem to arrive on a daily basis.
  
  Although one does wonder just what is next, just what can top the ridiculous state the government are in?

  Morning All...
  
  Thanks for posting.
  
  Shame about Andy Murray... would have been nice to watch him take on Federer in the final. But there you go... still, the British and Irish Lions are in action today and it's Tour de France time too.
  
  Not a lot to say about the programme really. I was pleased we got Carl Bildt... though we didn't know that would happen until about 4.45pm,so that was a bit squeaky. But I like it squeaky.
  
  I am sorry we didn't run the Padre from the Welsh Guards, we had a technical problem and then a timing one, so we just could not fit it on.
  
  I thought Phyllis Self, the 101-year-old still running her own business, was sensational and a real inspiration. Amazing to think she would have been 28 when Fred Perry won Wimbledon. We did ask her about that, but she said she was never that interested in tennis... so we cut that bit out.
  
  Have good weekends all y'all...

  Phyllis Self - I agree, she was great! I think I now know what my own retirement plan might look like, particularly involving plants.
