But is this just a way of Plan B getting his track on air or a real reflection of life on the streets? We're joined on the line now by our listeners Dave from Leicester and Nero from London. Hello to both of you. can we start with Dave, what's your question for Plan B?

Dave from Leicester: I don't know
