Attention All Shipping - Charlie Connelly
The Shipping Forecast is an odd thing. For many people (particularly Radio 4 addicts), lying in bed around 1 am listening to the gentle poetry of the Shipping Forecast is one of life’s secret but treasured pleasures. Curled up under the duvet, you can let the litany of “Dogger, Fisher, German Bight…”, “south-westerly five or six, rain then showers, moderate becoming good…” wash over you. You may live in Solihull, miles from the nearest coast, but for once you can be glad that you’re not in North Utsire enduring the gales.
