    Anyway, I gave him a half volley just outside the off stump....

    Back on topic, many will recall the Radio 4 announcer/newsreader Charlotte Green who was for a number of years the 'voice' of the shipping forecast.
    It seems she was very popular with single male listeners of a certain, ahem, type.
    I remember hearing an interview on the radio when she was asked what was the strangest fan letter she ever had.
    Apparently, one of these lonely souls had written asking her to slow down when reading the shipping forecast, because 'I like to finish at the same time as you do!' :yikes:
