... the time travel thing came on - quite what is the role of this spot?

To make us yearn to be able to go back to a time when such features never appeared on R3?

Tuned into it this morning whilst working on prep for painting garden table and chairs for Hammeriting - pleasant enough music, albeit chunks, but swiftly changed to Radio Cornwall when the time travel thing came on - quite what is the role of this spot?

I fully expect to find thereon that we didn’t hang that blasted monkey .....

Not sure that I'd describe Goya (1746-1828) as an 18th century painter - he straddles the century, and much (most?) of his greatest work was created in the 19th century.... A bit flip.

Don't get me going on that one. The Americans retranslated a milliard (1,000,000,000) into a "billion", whereas a real billion has an extra three naughts, which the Americans called a trillion, (which is actually 1,000,000,000,000,000,000).
We just followed, sheepishly, as usual. The deflation gets more extreme as each new name (quadrillion, quintillion... etc.) occurs.
