Why aren’t you going to the Men’s Six Nations? Tens of thousands of tickets for Wales’ three home fixtures in this year's tournament remain unsold. On Thursday afternoon there were over 15,000 tickets available for Sunday's clash with France at the Principality Stadium. There were almost 7,000 left for Scotland and 27,000 for Italy's visit in March, according to the WRU's official ticket site. Tickets cost between £40 and £120, and the WRU say tickets have been selling at a rate of 1,000 a day this week. Is it acceptable to queue single file in a pub? Landlords are reporting a trend of customers queueing at pubs, rather than standing along the bar to be served. And some pubs are now training their staff to encourage customers to come to the bar, rather than creating a single line. And we’re celebrating the 15th annual World Radio Day. Broadcasting legend – BBC Radio 6 Music’s Steve Lamacq – joins us to talk about his radio career highlights. What does radio mean to you? Call or WhatsApp 03700 100 110, or Text 8 10 12. Be part of the nations' conversation.
