news:Bgjcd.260368$D%.119919@attbi_s51... Actually, BBC is on our local NPR news station every day. They're great till they get to the worldwide cricket scores... You'd love the shipping forecast on Radio 4. "Shipping forecast"? What's that, a weather forecast for the English Channel? The North Atlantic? Actually: http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/news/shipping.shtml You have it in text format, but for maximum effect, click on the bit which says: "Click to listen to the shipping forecast". The one at 00:48 is followed by the forecast for inshore waters: http://www.met-office.gov.uk/datafiles/inshore.html All together it goes on from 00:48 until 01:00. 12 minutes of weird names and numbers. You could always click on "Listen Live" at 00:48 British Summer Time (23:48 UTC). From typing this, this is in just under an hour. Can't listen to Real Audio stuff on my work connection (behind a firewall) so can't tell you if the forecast after 01:00 on the web also includes the inshore waters. Info on interpreting the shipping forecast: http://www.met-office.gov.uk/leisure...ing/index.html Shipping forecast areas are he http://www.met-office.gov.uk/leisure/shiparea.html Inshore waters forecast points are he http://www.met-office.gov.uk/leisure/iswfplace.html Wind is in Beaufort scale values. http://www.met-office.gov.uk/educati.../beaufort.html Some more information on the shipping forecast towards the end of this article: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/1798629.stm Paul |
