BBC radio the best broacasters in the world. I am a regular listener to us and Canadian radio online, as much as I love listnening to specialist music programmes no one can hold a candle to the BBC. Although I must say that CBC in Canada provide quality listening and the same is true of National Public radio in the states.

Britain's history of having the finest and most innovative rock artists in the world.

Coldplay's new album again confirms this.

I see that Coldplay have made another piece of music history.

They have gained both the Number One single and album spot on both sides of the Atlantic with their latest releases. (US and UK).

The Beatles of course did this many times but it has not been done by a Brit artist since Rod Stewart in 1971.

Coldplay's new album currently tops the charts in 14 countries around the world.

You should wear an old fashioned bowler hat (A "Derby" to our American readers). They were originally crash helmets for horse riders to protect them against tumbles or low hanging branches
