You didn't want to hear the other movements then?

The slow movement alone suited me perfectly this morning, thanks very much for asking.

[DaisyDog]

It was indeed joyous to have Skellers back for a while in the mornings. He's a man of infinite wit and wisdom. Unlike the Cornish Pasty who followed.

[Crowcatcher]

One of the things I like about Skellers, amongst all of his other virtues, is that he speaks English, as opposed to the Corporate American b*****it of "targeting their focuses across the key agenda issues" of certain of the others.

I sometime wonder if I'm the only one who notices just how bad the BBC's (and most others') English has become!

...the Cornish Pasty...

I'm not sure that the Squire's accent qualifies him for such a moniker .

I agree. It struck me as being simply gratuitous and rude.

I agree.

[ahinton]

I agree.

I do, too, although a really good authentic Cornish pasty is certainly not something at which to scoff (if you'll pardon the expression); indeed, a Cornishman of my acquaintance describes it as a prime example of haute cuisine de Cornouaille (which is perhaps a pity because Cornouaille's in Brittany!), best sampled with a Cornish pinot noir (such as Black Ewe from Trevibban Mill near Padstein)...

A chance of an extra couple of hours in Dreamland for most - Alkers has the weekend slots .......

'For most' is a bit presumptuous. At all events, you've missed a good programme, perfectly decently presented.

Actually a great wine match for a proper job pasty is Chilean Chardonnay. I serendipitously discovered this at a party - I think that the turnip (swede) is the key to the pairing but it really works.

That's interesting; I'd not have thought of that but can see the logic behind it as you describe it!

Well having missed the same on Wednesday morning, an early drive to the coast today permitted a listen to Ian Skelly's programme, dowloaded to the iPod in the car, in preference to what was available live...

Giggles all round at his oblique avoidance of the T word, with references to many people being surprised that morning by... the quantity of rain overnight

or shocked by... the reduction in the number of lumps in a Toblerone bar

Also loved his introduction to a piece by "perhaps the greatest of the many great composers from Little Rock, Arkansas"
