Heads up for a Radio 4 Book of the week programme, 'The Blaze of Obscurity' by Clive James, detailing his attempts at learning to drive and being tutored by Stirling Moss.

Radio 4, Friday 23rd October 9-45am - 10.00am (BST for internet listeners).

... and repeated at 12.30 am on Saturday morning, or at any time on line (after the first broadcast) via the BBC's 'Listen Again' service. Clive James has a fine way with words - in today's episode he described Pavarotti as smiling "like a happy grand piano". I'm looking forward to tomorrow's episode.

and R4 00.30.
(and with Roy Orbison's greatest song as intro...)

Rats! That's what I should have put - there's no such time as 12-30 am, of course.

What? Bradshaw's Railway Guide must have got it wrong

Oh dear. Perhaps I'd better stop digging ...

There's no such time as 12 am or 12 pm, if that's what you mean - in spite of what the BBC used to say on their weather maps.

Is it just 12 noon and 12 midnight? I've never really got my head around that........

Have you changed your mind, Alan?! Actually, when I think about it , the meridiem is the meridiem, and one second either side of noon is either ante or post. (am or pm).
