Southern Counties Radio

Now, we could talk to all the experts in the land but there's nothing like hearing from someone who has actually been there, done it and got the T shirt.

There's nothing more interesting than other peoples' lives.

Ferny's Fat Club - could you be slimmer?

Take the trucker who proposed on the fifth date. Thirty two years later they are still happily married.

Or what about the guy who was so depressed following his divorce that he got as far as loading the shot gun?

Alli will also ask the questions that you find you ask yourself: Are you free range or battery when it comes to buying chicken?

Would you ever admit to answering your mobile phone whilst driving?

But Alli's also game for laugh. Tune in on Fridays for a buttock clenching workout - it's all part of Fernie's Fat Club, the kinder way to lose weight.

Forget the draughty church hall and the public humiliation of most weight loss classes, Fernie's Fat Club is a breeze.

That's what to expect in the afternoons with Alli. But to be quite truthful, anything may happen.

So tune in and expect the unexpected!

Alli asked for the favourite photo on your mantelpiece.

My favourite;it's of my gorgeous grand-daughters.
