Just heard it again, this time with a news reader called something like May Flower! either it's a continuing joke or they have sacked their newsreaders and hired in something from london as they ain't local. maybe they send the londoners the courier/examiner and they read the news from it down the ISDN. All old stories again today.
Must be something strange going on in the world of local newscasting: the Manx Radio news at 1pm sounded like it was being specially annunciated for small children at bedtime.
