Probably the most boring programme on the radio. I rarely tune in to listen to it now.  ::)

Finistaire was never the same without Ginger Rogers.

On that subject (and is this a ploy to prove I will talk about absolutely ANYthing?) was sea area Finistaire  changed to Fitzroy?

Very Australian, that.

Fitzroy was a Melbourne Aussie Rules football club which was moved (much to the dismay of its fans) to Queensland and renamed the Brisbane Bears (now known as the Brisbane Lions). How odd that the Fitzroy name has been revived in the northern hemisphere.
