Congrats ...

I've been a fan of the Beeb since I first went to Europe 45 years ago. I know, wherever I go in the world, I can catch up with what's going on thanks to them. Happy 80th to the BBC World Service:

The BBC World Service - which marks its 80th birthday on Wednesday - was broadcast only on shortwave back in 1932. Today, audiences on FM, digital radio and the internet are growing fast while shortwave is in decline, but for millions it remains a lifeline.

I like the Beeb too. I think they were kinda the F**Noise of the British Empire back in the day but they seem to have gotten pretty much over that a lot of the time.
