  • The Old Gits Crisp Bus
    Jun 3 2026

    Yet another money-making opportunity that we have, and believe it or not, this one definitely has legs, well, actually wheels.

    This story came about when a leading lady 'luvvie' announced that her mother fed her rubbish food by giving her crisp sandwiches. Now, being Old Gits, we took umbrage with that as we are totally convinced the crisp sandwich is a British food institution that needed defending.

    Furthermore, we saw it as a great opportunity for us to start our own outside catering company, providing crisp sandwiches on demand. Not only that, but David actually found a couple of food trucks, including an ex-ice cream truck that would be ideal for our project. We are looking for your help with coming up with the 'theme' tune that will be played when the Crisp truck arrives along your street. The Crunch by the RAH Band was one suggestion we would like more.

    Finally, we also thought the à la carte menu and self-construction sandwich (after you have your own FREE lesson) on how to build the correct sandwich, which will be trademarked, of course.

    Book the Old Gits crisp catering for your next big event.

    Grab a crisp sandwich, listen in and enjoy.

  • Mental Health Awareness Week 11-17th May 2026
    May 12 2026

    As a team, we always endeavour to put the fun into each of our shows. Occasionally, there is a subject that needs serious consideration, and a segment of this week's show did exactly that, under the guidance of Chris Criddle, who speaks candidly about the issues he encountered himself.

    As a reminder, we can all be one small step away from suffering from mental health issues, not just for a week, but for some, it can be a considerable and even a desperate time. We will let Chris explain, and of course, hopefully it leaves you totally aware that there is ALWAYS someone there to help or talk to.

    A Grandiloquent Greeting from the City Varieties!
    Ladies and Gentlemen, Me-Lords, Ladies, and Gentlemen! Pray, silence! Cast your sensory waves toward the proscenium arch and prepare to be transported, transfixed, and—dare I suggest—totally transformed! Today, we present for your delectation and your absolute, unadulterated diversion, a broadcast of unparalleled brilliance!

    We welcome to our illustrious airwaves the purveyors of that auditory extravaganza known as The Old Gits & Hits! Today, they shall engage in a tripartite tussle of topicality, a cacophony of conversation, a veritable Cornucopia of Contention! Observe as they dissect:

    The Gracious Game of Golf: That "splendid walk spoiled," where men of a certain vintage pursue a diminutive dimpled orb with a determination bordering on the demonic!

    The Sudsy Saga of Soap: From the bubbling cauldrons of cleanliness to the melodramatic machinations of the afternoon serial—a subject both fragrant and fractured!

    The Piquant Palatability of Pizza: That circular, savoury, and suspiciously Italianate disc of dough, topped with a plethora of perilous provender!

    Will there be agreement? Never! Will there be harmony? Hardly! But will there be a high-spirited hootenanny of heritage and hits? Incontestably!

    So, I implore you, put your digital digits together, raise the rafters of your celestial cavern, and give a gargantuan, Gallic, and GORGEOUS welcome to... THE OLD GITS AND HITS!

    Incidentally, I think you might just like it.
