Shipping forecast book - mention for USW regular on Radio 2
The book is "Attention all Shipping: A Journey round the Shipping Forecast" By
Charlie Connelly. If you ever wondered where the island of Utsira was, or Channel Light Vessel Automatic was located, this is the book. The author talked about his travels and his book on Radio 2's Johnny Walker show last night, mentioned Martin Rowley, and examined the fascination the nation has with the shipping forecast, even though 90% of the population haven't a clue what it is about. Apparently BBC radio presenters look forward to reading the forecast, as it has a certain "poetic" feel. JPG |
