I Dream Of Sleeping
Posted on 1:58pm Thursday 18th April 2013
I haven’t enjoyed a full, uninterrupted 8 hours sleep in nearly six years. I know this because I have had a lot of time to think about that fact. A lot of time spent lying in bed in the dark, eyes wide open pondering how long it has been since I have slept a full night and since when.

The Savile Culture of Shame
Posted on 1:00pm Tuesday 9th October 2012
Jo Chipchase throws in her 'two penneth' on the Jimmy Savile case and, in particular, the material found on the internet - dating back many years - that hinted towards Jimmy Savile's unsavoury activities. With this content existing in the public domain, it seems unlikely that the BBC could be blissfully unaware of the situation. This poses the question: why did hordes of people and the media collude in a large-scale cover up?

But What If He Is A Future Picasso?
Posted on 6:18pm Monday 17th September 2012
What do you do with your little darlings’ bits of art? You know the endless bits of paper and card that have been marked by your offspring. Which ones do you deem to be ‘special’ and worthy of putting aside to get out again when they’ve grown up and left home? And which ones can you with a clear conscience throw away?

There goes the neighbourhood!

Brighton: offering a more literal, less enjoyable dirty weekender
Posted on 3:59pm Monday 21st May 2012
No wonder Brighton and Hove City Council failed to find anyone to advertise on its bins. Aside from the obvious branding problems of being the company everyone associates with dog-doings, masticated chewing gum and free newspapers (*shudder*), I doubt they’d get any exposure. Nobody is using the damned things!

Why ‘Made in China’ could eventually be good for consumers and bad for corporates seeking cheap labour
Posted on 9:26am Saturday 19th May 2012
Some people consider Made in China to be a bad thing. But, really, it's not all bad! Jo Chipchase looks at how the tables could turn on big corporates, with consumers going directly to Chinese merchants to buy cheap items that are identical to the more expensive ones sold in UK stores.

Pleasures of the Zimmer Zone part two
Posted on 1:14pm Tuesday 15th May 2012
We needn’t have gone to Rye and Lamb House in the east, or Plumpton in the north, or for that matter, Chichester and Goodwood in the west. Nor was there probably any need to see the Steine or the Palace Pier, Preston Park or meander through the Lanes. No, because we had everything we required in the Zimmer Zone.

Cash and co
Posted on 3:04pm Monday 30th April 2012
I had five minutes of fame on Southern FM thanks to Dave Cash, although if truth be told, the person I should thank is Suzi.

Posted on 8:57am Wednesday 11th April 2012
Never afraid to be 'irreverent', Jo Chipchase picks up her pet topics of the hype surrounding public events and how they attract tonnes of plastic tat made in China.
