It's funny, isn't it?

I think you would be more in touch with what's going on in the station than, say, somebody like me.

that be?

Yeah, fair.

And so you would be as part of the day.

And people say what you've just said, and it must be true, but I've not sort of lived it, so I don't know.

But I can't work out why that would be, because it's normally an industry full of egos and
