Does anyone else apart from me on here like this programme on Radio 4? :T

Well I imagine quite a few sailors do...

I always find it oddly relaxing to listen to when I hear it

Certainly more interesting, and fun than most of the stuff on TV

I got rid of the Telly a month ago or so and now listen to the Radio. Last night I listened to this while laying in bed and was imagining ships in the gales that were reported while I was in my cozy bed.

Living next to a thriving fishing village and in the most westerly point of Europe I know how valuable the shipping forecast is.

R4 LW listeners get an extra couple of treats per day!

My family were originally fishermen, so it was a must before they were due to go to sea.
