It's World Standards Day today, so The Brew will be doing its bit keeping things down to standard until 2. At 12.10, Chief Petrol Head Tim Huxley will be with you for some luxury bruum bruum. At 12:40, a quick trip to Bangkok to catch up again with author John Duffus. You may remember a couple of weeks ago, John told us all about his new book 'Backstage in Hong Kong', with all sorts of wonderful stories about his time living here as a manager of the arts. Today, in a sort of 'part two', John will tell us all about his time running the Lloyd Webber empire here. Then, at 1:25, Neil Runcieman joins us from Vietnam to tell you all about how the President’s world tour was actually more profitable than Taylor Swift’s, and also he has some nonsense about 'the apostrophe'. Catch Neil on Facebook live if you can.

Every weekday afternoon from 12 until 2... Only on Radio 3
