Unnecessary tweaks

Is Glastonbury over yet? If not, can it be very soon please? On Jo Whiley’s exciting new evening show on Radio 2, the poor woman can still barely finish a sentence without referring to ‘Glasto’ or ‘the Pyramid Stage’ or whatever it’s called, where everyone who played was brilliant, as everyone always is in Jo’s world.

Like a few people I listen to the radio at certain specific times of day, in my case when washing up. The girlfriend will have previously retuned it to Radio 4 to listen to The Archers; I shall retune it to Radio 2 to listen to the early-evening specialist music shows and thereafter to Jo, who has controversially replaced Radcliffe and Maconie in the all-important mid-evening slot.
