A concise forecast that reads as pure poetry, and before it, Sailing By
Followed by the National Anthem to end the day's broadcast!
It's really relaxing drifting off to sleep to the gentle tones of the forecast, but countered somewhat by the need afterwards to stand up in bed as the anthem is played.
- martyvis 5y agoI can imagine a few scruffy fisherman and a salty old seadog of a Captain ploughing out into the North Sea just after midnight on a thumpety-thumpety old boat, rocking and reeling, listening to this forecast, and then standing to "God save The Queen" each contemplating whether they will be able to return home at the end of the day.
- unfocussed_mike 5y agoYes -- the national anthem is a perversely rude awakening at that point!
