The Eternal Breakfast Debate in a New Place

[antongould]

..... as businesses say: "Customers don't complain: they just don't come back."

Not sure if this was ever true but, IMVVHO, it isn’t true now. With this Forum as a reasonable example people leave for a period of contemplation or whatever but do return.
Also Skellers says more people than ever are listening to Essential Classics ..... so it must be true

It's just a well-known quote. If I were to say, I no longer 'complain', I wouldn't mean not complaining here, or on my private blog, or by setting up a Facebook page. I mean not complaining to the source of the dissatisfaction; and as the business men say, I don't come back.

There has never been any argument that there is AN audience for what Radio 3 does more of now, just as there is AN audience for Classic FM. It will (or logically should be) a larger audience than listened to the old Third Programme-type Radio 3. But there isn't a larger audience, just a different audience replacing the dear departed - I hope you enjoy many hours of happy listening, if I may say that without any sarcasm or ill-will. Radio 3 was then, I've grown away from it.

This animal tends to get sleepy rather than sad, however I'm operating in ignorant guesswork here as I don't have Latin apart from masses etc, and google returned this "It looks like there aren't any great matches for your search". Huh, at least I own my ignorance...

It's a bit of dog-Latin I concocted, Oddie, from the well-worn Post coitum omnia animali tristia sunt - something like After sex all creatures feel sad. (The grammar is atrocious, I admit.) I doubt this appears in the text of the Tridentine Mass - but I thought by substituting a 'breakfast' for 'sex', I might raise a wan smile for some.

I took prandium in the general meal sense rather than breakfast, which only occurred to me later. It's rather satisfying though to find that otherwise my guesswork was OK, and as good a way as any to exercise the brain cells. My 'Huh' remark was directed at google btw.
Presumably post meridian might be less tristia as that's when the proper R3 schedule starts?

Ientaculum is Latin for breakfast it Appears

Translation website :

.
“jentaculum was the breakfast: some bread and cheese after waking up; The prandium was a simple collation (merenda), eaten on the go around midday; The cena was the real meal: it began from the middle of the afternoon and generally ended at nightfall.“

I just managed to catch the start of this morning's programme, in time to hear the Petroc advise us, in that strangest of somehow condescending tones he uses, that Peter Donohoe [of all people?] would be playing today's Lunchtime Concert, before leaping out of bed to switch over to Radio 4, and then saying to myself, "Oh really? Fancy that! Peter Donohoe - Well well, who would have thought it possible? How very interesting". Etc, etc.

There was a similarly enjoyable(to my ears at least) result of a listener intervention on Monday. A follow-up comment (to a short item last week by the curator about a ship's biscuit in the museum collection) about Gt Yarmouth's Time and Tide museum led to a sequence beginning with Herbert Sumsion's 'They that go down to the sea in ships' with the wonderful "stagger like a drunken man" word painting.
