By the way, many of these producers that you're so sure they're petrified of, are young guys and girls in their 20s or 30s who wouldn't say boo to a goose, let alone advise grizzled old veterans such as Cowan or Walker on how to present.
I hope that Sarah Walker doesn't get to read your description of her as a "grizzled old veteran"...

A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.

This is perfectly true, of course. It has been asked why we listen to programmes if we are so critical of them, but surely to goodness I am entitled to listen to a music channel (aka R3) in the expectation of receiving a reasonable spread of music, and not all the puerile nonsense that we get fed at present.
I could put on a CD each morning, of course I could, but I expect R3 to provide me with music that I don't myself possess, and without all the other rubbish we have to suffer.Money can't buy you happiness............but it does bring you a more pleasant form of misery - Spike Milligan

Why do people (eg aka Calum Da Jazbo) persist in listening to a radio programme they so dislike?
Is it because they share living space with someone who likes the programme and insists on listening to it?
If so, could their hateful complaining be a transference of their dislike of this other person?
Your humble servant, etc.

But the whole concept of Five Reasons to Love is so naff .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.
