A dud action film is sometimes OK if ironing shirts but the delight of listening in to stored stuff on the radio4 or 2 website means you don't have to miss stuff. Broadband helps a lot but it should be OK from anywhere on the net.

In the car radio is the only option smiley - winkeye but if I mention timeshift taping I might just get moderated smiley - ermsmiley - wah.

I listen a lot at night and once wrote to thank the BBC for putting the world service on Radio 4 wavelengths overnight. Much to my surprise John Tusa (yes it was a wee while ago) replied to say he didn't mind if folk went to sleep while listening smiley - biggrin

Kelly, Owlatron's American thundercat, and not creative enough to come up with a cool tag

I have to agree with Pinboy. I live in the US as well. There are four radio stations in my town (and a bunch that come from out of town). In town we have a country station an easy listening station (of all things) and two top forty pop stations. All of the other stations we get are top forty pop as well except for one classic rock station. The trouble with radio here is that it is all music all the time. The only 'shows' are news shows that tell us things we already saw on television or read in the paper. I wish it was better (that's for all you American broadcasters reading this message).

I spy with my little eye another Wave 105 listener...although if I actually hear rewind I get depressed because it means I'm still stuck in traffic at 7pm smiley - sadface

coded message only makes sense to south coast residents who also listen to a certain commercial radio station smiley - smiley

*waves back at PencilQueen* it's the only decent station we've got down here I have to fight for it at work as the younger members listen to Power FM, I'm usually AT work when I listen to rewind, the quiet storm isn't too bad either, ah the loneliness of a night worker.
