Time for a cup of milky tea and a nice lie down...

It may be that only my fellow Brits can truly appreciate this: I'd forgotten to charge my mp3 player so I was scanning through the different radio stations as I drove home last night from work, only to stop on a station that was playing The Stone Roses (Fools Gold, of course).

I didn't immediately notice which station I was tuned to.

It was Radio 2. *headdesk*

Ahahahahaaaa!

I have never recovered from the shock of hearing Steve Wright In The Afternoon on Radio 2.

Hey, Jonathan Ross had Ron Sexsmith as a guest perfromer in thye studio a couple of months ago, as I was coming back from Dorset. I was well contented! Wossy plays some pretty eclectic stuff that's all Round About Our Age if you know what I mean.

Now excuse me, I've got to go put the Sanatogen on to stew.

Been there, done that. Nasty shock, what? Nearly lost me dentures *g*

I'd commiserate except I fear I accidentally tuned into Radio Two at some point during my first year at uni and never left... *fails at youth*

Been there, done that.

Also I once told someone who works in radio that I really liked Fox FM (a local station). He nodded sagely and said, figures - they're very Radio 2 like.

Apparently I have become my mother.

Um..... I started listening to radio 2 when bands like the Stone Roses moved over. It beats R1 anyway, and I'm saving myself until my later years for R3 :)

It's progression!

Radio 1 is for younger listeners, Radio 2 is for not so young listeners and the music they play and the DJs change to reflect their listeners.

I'm struggling with why the slightly looney local radio presenters get the early morning breakfast slot - idiot presenters before 7 am? Noooooooooooooooo. Years ago the breakfast time presenters were quite serious then they created the early breakfast slot and look (well listen) to the rubbish the presenters spout. Looney presenters used to be on when the listeners were awake, like the late afternoon slot (umpteen years of Timmy Mallett on BBC Radio Oxford), not to rudely awake innocent listeners as happens now.

I fell into that trap before I was thirty, and in public, no less. It was a horrifying and terrifying experience. I'm over it now (the shock, not the listening).
