John Peel Wiki

Changes to the look of John Peel Wiki will take place in the near future due to a new skin being rolled out over Oct/Nov across Wikia. Please see the Wikia Staff Blog for further details. On this site, the changes will affect the navigation from the left menu, as well as introduce a fixed page width with narrower content space. Please be patient while adjustments are made for the switch to the new system.

UPDATE: As the change is now in force for some users, I have switched the navigation to the simplified one for the new system. Please check Navigation in the Help section if you can't find things. I also initially made small adjustments to the front page layout, but have now reverted to the old look until all users are on the new system.

COUNTDOWN: Just a reminder for people still using Monaco that the final switch to the new skin is due on Nov. 3. After that, it will no longer be offered as an option. Sorry. Nothing to do with me.

(JP: 'This next one is the Fretin (Peel mispronunciation of Tsvety I suspect!!) football record. I think, I could be obviously stepping on people's toes here, but I think it's in Russian, although it was sent to me by somebody who listens to the World Service programmes that I do and he sent it from Riga in Latvia and there is a mention of Football in it no question about that and also one of my mates claim to have heard the words Great Britain in there, but I missed it myself, and there is also a reference I think to Estonia, so who knows, what's its all about, but on the other hand, the odd football record does you good.')

(JP: 'I still not entirely certain what language that's in, but a fine record for all of that. I also picked up the words 'attack', 'wonky' and 'arsey' at one stage, which may not mean the same thing in that part of the world')
