    Best of British Playlist - did my ears deceive me, or did Petroc ask people what they Reckoned. If so -

    Yes, Works that you as a listener to Radio 3 Breakfast Reckon are worthy of the title 'great' ... go, Petroc!

    Radio 3 Breakfast page calls today Thurday - what did they mean by that?
    It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.

          I don't know for certain, but your educated guess seems very credible.

              You may send it mad!

              I filled in a survey a few days back and suggested they really should have a revise sub given the number of mistakes in the playlists.

                The one thing they could copy CFM on and won't is the playlists, whatever software CFM use is vastly superior, the R3 one is just about the most appalling pieces of trash ever devised, any Controller with even a fraction of an ounce of pride in their station's presentation would have ditched it straightaway.

                  I keep hitting the Escape key, but I'm still here!

                      Meh - there was one for Poynton, Cheshire, as well which might have been Pointon, Lincolnshire, for all I knew (and I didn't know where either of them were. Or that there were two of them). But, really, these are just commercials. People with something to sell being given some publicity.

                      Johann Sebastian Strauss to begin with.
                      1st movement of the Moonlight Sonata
                      Brahms Hungarian Dance
                      Pachelbel's Canon and Gigue
                      'Nother Brahms Hungarian Dance
                      I have a Song to Sing, o!

                      But - eat your heart out yourself - someone I know in Bristol had his name read out, asking for the Graham Fitkin piece.

                          Yes, I think so. Mind you, when I next see him, I shall have WORDS.

                            Poynton Cheshire was the home of my primary school teacher who had sung in the famous Manchester Children's Choir recording of Nymphs and Shepherds. I remember the day she played it to us, when I was 6 years old. Who needed Ten Pieces when we had a teacher who inspired us like that?
