Sausage rolls...
I’ve only made mix tapes / cds for exes many moons ago and there is no story to it. But my ex had a mix tape made for her once, from an oddball who had met her once.

She went down to our prospective post-grad uni for an interview. Met a few people in the interview and one guy, Matt, took a shine to her. Ex being the nice person she is was polite and accepted his offer for food that evening (uni was at the end of the country, an overnight stay was needed by both).

So they have dinner, nothing untoward happens, he walks her back to her hotel, and that is that, or so she thought.

The next morning, when she gets to the station, she see’s Matt again, waiting for her. “Oh, I wasn’t sure what train you were getting so I waited here all morning.” Hummn… “I made you this last night…” and hands her a mix tape… right you are, weirdo.

A little freaked out by this, she gets on her train and buggers off back home, hoping to never hear from him. Stupidly she’d given him her number, she was being nice and well, she thought he was normal when she did so. But no, one mix tape and many calls and months of attempted contact later she’d told him where to go and finally hoped to never hear from him again (this story would’ve been more suited for last week). Until the first day of our post-grad. When he’s there. And I buddy up with him. And become mates. And he tells me the story of the bitch who he dated and then he blew out.

But as the year progressed we all found out how weird he was, he only ever ate sausage rolls… anyway, the tape came in use, as broadcast journalists we used it for recording an interview or two…

Length? About 90 mins I think….
