EEC road reports...
Terry Wogan, with the lilting Irish brogue who presents a disc and chat (his own) show on Radio 2, Monday to Friday, is a lad of many parts. He has also appeared on the Miss World Show., as a presenter, of course, and was renowned as a "fighter of the flab" way back.
Last week he broke new ground. In response to a listener's letter asking for road reports in Europe for long-distance lorry drivers, the bold boyo was back five minutes later with a very useful run-down on conditions supplied by the AA.
When CM asked the BBC if it would continue the service, the latter was surprised that it had even started it and thought that it was unlikely to make it a regular feature. All of which seems a pity because vehicle cabs, as we've said before, can be mightly lonely places. This is especially true on the • Autostrade, Autoroute, Autobahn or Route Nationale.
So what about it Auntie Beeb, if nothing else it will help to fill out the space between discs with something useful?
Even more important, it will make those at home aware that Britain is an active force in Europe. Come on, give it a try.
