Just listened to the magnificent Julian Marshall sign off for the last time on NewsHour on the World Service after 51 years of BBC broadcasting. I think he had to stifle a tear and so did I. You are The KING.

UPDATE: Spain / Portugal blackout. It's ~5 hours since the blackout started. Load has risen a tiny bit to ~12 GW in Spain (a recovery of ~1.5 GW since 12.35pm local time when it started). The grid operator still has another >10 GW to recover. Sunset in Madrid is in ~3 hours.

Solent regional devolution is going to put a lot of local council logo designers out of work. Except in Fareham where they don't appear to have ever engaged one.

the railway is making its announcements less jargony. @DavidLloydRADIO will surely approve but they're more wordy as a result. There is nothing wrong with the clear English word "terminates". Replacing it with "finishes its journey" is lazy and inefficient.
