Here we go again... Another UK Top 40 from forty years ago today. Join me tonight from 6-9 for the chart countdown for August 3rd 1985.

I have just updated The Pirate Radio Hall of Fame. Forty years ago this month the British government chartered the vessel Dioptric Surveyor to hang around the North Sea and monitor the Caroline and Laser ships in an effort to prevent supplies reaching them. Laser's Charlie Wolf named this campaign Eurosiege '85. This month we remember Eurosiege in part 4 of the Laser Story; there are also press cuttings from the period; going back to the sixties, we have another batch of photos taken by Caroline engineer Sheridon Street; and from 1974 we have Radio Caroline's first Top 40 album chart.

Are any of our listeners going on holiday this year? Any not going?

Whether or not you're going on holiday this year, this is the time that we usually either buy a new suitcase or throw out the old ones. Instead of getting rid of your old cases/backpacks/holdalls, I'd like to suggest something different.

In the UK, approximately 39,053 children and young people enter the care system each year. This equates to about 107 children per day. Due to circumstances beyond the child's control, they are usually taken from their homes at very short notice, with very little time to pack. On most occasions, children enter the care system with their belongings in carrier bags, or even just with the clothes on their backs.

I want to ask people, if you are getting rid of your old cases/backpacks/holdalls this year, to consider donating them to your local Children's Services (Social Services for Children) department within your Local Authority. Sometimes these departments go by other names. That way, when social services take a child into care, they can take a suitcase with them, and the child can take as many of their belongings as possible and arrive at a care home with some dignity.

Thank you. Oh, and please share the heck out of this.
