            Am I correct in assuming that the surname of the three people doesn't begin with W?

                Two of them are people with a surname beginning with W.

                  Don't you wish that some R3 presenters would match this brevity?

                          No. Stop guessing. Additional clue to the third (non-W) (and note the punctuation): sadly, restored to the "Last Night" this year.

                              I've been away couple of days (Y Sioe) the most prestigious social event of the year (Royal Welsh to those uninitiated, Welsh Cobs in particular) I only got Williams (now discarded) then Wood and Werther. But I would say I am back, although not this evening, due to Danny Boyle!

                                Yummy!! Warm and slathered with fresh butter? A report on the 'daily bread' thread is called for, perhaps?
