More about the Shipping Forecast
The shipping forecast is a much-loved strand of DNA to we Brits. The short marine weather forecast, contains magic to British ears! It's a daily prayer by we islanders to the beware the forces of nature.
Mark Damazer of BBC Radio 4 explains its popularity:
"It scans poetically. It's got a rhythm of its own. It's eccentric, it's unique ... and slightly mysterious because nobody really knows where these places are. It takes you into a faraway place that you can't really comprehend unless you're one of these people bobbing up and down in the Channel."
Author Charlie Connelly says:
"Sitting at home listening to the shipping forecast can be a cosily reassuring experience. There’s no danger of a westerly gale eight, veering southwesterly increasing nine later (visibility poor) gusting through your average suburban living room, blowing the Sunday papers all over the place and startling the cat. Yet familiar though the sea areas are by name, few people give much thought to where they are or what they contain."
