Default Jim Bacon sighting

Or more accurately, hearing. I happened to turn on the radio
yesterday morning, only to hear the DJ talking to Jim Bacon between
songs, Apparently this is a regular feature on Radio 2 between 7:30
and 8am on Saturdays. He's not restricted to talking about the
latest forecast. Yesterday the DJ (who came across as intelligent
and commendably interested in the weather, so it's a pity I can't
remember his name) was asking him how snow depths are measured.

That's the feller. Thanks.

I've posted this several months back - it demonstrates
that you can be a bit 'blokey' on a radio programme, and get the
message across. Jim does a slot roughly every 3 weeks, with Simon
Calder doing travel at other times. They used to do 'money', but that
was quietly shelved I think :-)


Ah, I'd gained the evidently erroneous impression that Jim Bacon was on
every week.
