I think Rocker's suggestion is the best so far, voting for the best
three tracks from this year in both charts. It's such a difficult thing
to choose records that you think are the best of all time without it
being wholly subjective, sentimental, arbitrary, that the only way
forward is probably to choose the records that mean the most to you at
this moment. Which for me, and in the ongoing spirit of the Peel
programme, would be stuff from this year.

Good point but many of these records up to, say, the sixties, many of us
won't have ever heard. So it's not as if it is *just* taking up airtime
without being interesting in itself. On the whole I think it's been an
overwhelmingly positive experience for all of us.

And on that heartwarming note I shall go and sit with the dogs by the
fire.
