Wait until you reach 36 years old and that's all you listen to.

Not yet, and everytime I hear his overly chirpy, loveable Irish chuckling voice on the radio I have to restrain myself from head-butting the steering wheel.

He's a bit too sugary for me thanks!

It might be a stuck button. I assume you've got radio 2 tuned into one of the presets?
Try retuning to a different station and see if that is the one you get all the time then.

I can scan up and down the range and pick up others that way and they stay. but no matter what preset i press it just flicks to radio 2. I have it preset at number 2 i will try and preset that to adifferant one next time i'm in the car.
