I mean...do they need to do that nowadays on MW radio?
Is it still necessary?
That said, I LIKE the shipping forecast.

It's poetry Len.

It's great. I love it. Always sets me of on boat to the Land of Nod.
I can never remember the order of the names, despite having read several be oils on it..I follow a bloke on twitter who is Kayaking the forecast.
Im sure which gps,radar and all mod cons it's not needed, but it's a lot of lovely thing to still hear, bit like the bongs from Big Ben before the news.
