On the phone-in Stephen asks - as nurses and teachers vote to strike, are you with them? Also on the show, Jim Fairlie on climbing Kilimanjaro, lost postcards and gardening.

PHONE-IN: STRIKES
Teachers in Scotland will stage a 24-hour walkout on 24 November after voting overwhelmingly to strike in a dispute over pay. Members of the EIS union rejected a 5% pay offer, saying they wanted 10%.

EIS general secretary Andrea Bradley said they had become 'increasingly angry over their treatment' by employers and the Scottish government. Deputy First Minister John Swinney previously said there was no more money to fund public sector pay rises.

The move comes after Scotland's largest nursing union voted to go on strike for the first time ever in a dispute over pay.
