BBC Radio Wales - The Phone In, With Oliver Hides

Oliver takes your calls on parking tickets, shorthand and eating pythons.

Have you had a private parking ticket? Did you learn shorthand? And would you eat a python? Call or WhatsApp 03700 100 110. Text 8 10 12. Tweet @bbcradiowales.

Private firms are issuing an average of more than 35,000 parking tickets to drivers every day – and critics are blaming UK government failure to introduce a code of practice to regulate the industry. So have you had a private parking penalty? Did you pay it, fight it or ignore it? And there's an online debate about shorthand which has been deemed ‘useless’ by some social media commentators. Who wants to stick up for shorthand? Is it a skill you learned in school? What other practical things did you learn and still use? Touch typing, sewing, cooking, woodwork? Plus scientists say pythons could provide a new sustainable source of meat. So would you swap your steak for a snake? What’s the strangest food you’ve ever eaten? Call or WhatsApp 03700 100 110. Text 8 10 12.  Tweet @bbcradiowales.
