As an analogous situation among our politicians, I guess.

What’s PPE? people on the forum insist on using jargon on initial form.

I am firmly of the view that very few people in the whole of the BBC have a clue about classical music!

PPE to me is Personal Protective Equipment. Not sure what that has to do with classical music though...

Would that be gaiters to protect you from "Nipper", HMVman?

A new perspective on box sets?

Good suggestions, OG and LMP. I think it's more likely to be ear defenders for when SK and KD are on...

KD’s far from loud, though perhaps a sick bowl would come in handy.

I turned on the radio to hear the much praised Breakfast presented by Martin Handley. Yes, he was very good: measured but relaxed, and the music was interesting. I thought this was as good as Through the Night. Then came a trailer: half a dozen voices yakety-yaking about amazing, blown away, staggering and more. That’s it. I am staying with TTN. What a pity. One of the finest presenters wasted.

That sounds as if it was the Jess Gillam plug. It did break the flow, jarringly, and as such I'm not sure how much it would have done to persuade listeners to her programme or, like you (and me), spoil enjoyment of the Breakfast programme it intruded on.
Towards the end of Breakfast there was a segue of Schubert Impromptu into MacMillan's 'Oh Radiant Dawn'. This isn't a tactic I normally find either appealing or successful, but for some reason this one, for me, worked.

Hence the invaluable ‘skip 10 seconds’ button on the iPlayer app... 2 or 3 taps (plus a few more to skip the out-of-date news bulletin) and it’s fine: Handley unmarred!
