Dear Colleagues,
As Nick rightly points out I omitted the radio channel. I was
obviously too keen to impart information (and I checked it as well).
The Simon Calder programme about Mercator is Radio 4 Tuesday
morning 9.30 a.m. to 9.45 a.m. Others follow for the next 4 weeks -
Radio 4.
Apologies again.
