DJ Dave Cash put love on the air
Sports editor Political editor Supplements editor It was with some sadness I learnt of the death of Dave Cash. You could say he was instrumental in my husband and I meeting 45 years ago. It was September 1970. I was 20 and had taken some leave from work and was at home in Sutton Valence listening to the radio.
Dave Cash put out a request for “two lonely English lads” who had written to him.
They had emigrated to Canada and wanted pen friends in England. I jotted down the address and wrote off.
I received a reply from John in Canada a few weeks later saying that he and his friend had received more than 600 replies as a result of Dave’s broadcast.
John and I continued to write to each other over the next few months, until John returned home to Shrewsbury, Shropshire in April 1971.
We met a few months later, and the rest (as they say) is history. We married in April 1973 in Sutton Valence. Whenever I heard Dave on the radio it brought back memories of that broadcast in 1970.

Despite their mendacious claims to support democracy Europhiles will be rejoicing at such a blatant attempt to undermine the result of the referendum, but for all those who voted to take back our nation from the control of unelected bureaucrats in Brussels the choice is now clear. Either we tamely accept that our wishes are as nothing compared to those of the privileged, liberal elite or we decide to oppose them all the way. kentonline editor kentonline news editor
Although taking part in protest marches may not be to everyone’s taste we can make clear to those who purport to represent us we demand they respect the decision taken by the electorate. Should a general election be called then only those who openly declare their support for a clean break with the EU should be supported, as this issue is of greater importance for our future than almost any other. We face a constitutional crisis of more significance than any in living memory. Colin Bullen, Douglas Road, Tonbridge
