"Can I ask you a strange question?"

Radio Just to show that good things can happen to good people: I don't listen to local radio so I hadn't noticed one of my commuter buddies, Claire Hamilton, from way back when I used to work in Manchester, has a nightly slot on BBC Radio Merseyside -- and I only found out because I'd seen an article in the Liverpool Daily Post saying that she's taking over the much covetted Breakfast slot very soon. Even though I got her number I bone-headedly failed to keep in touch, but it's really nice to know she's doing so well. I wrote about meeting Claire for the first time here.
