I think Radio 4 is what England is all about.  Gardeners question time, From our own correspondent, the Today programme, and of course, being an island...

I had dogged her all evening and plied her with Baileys.  Tonight I was a fisher, my silver tongue weaved a fast net to hold her; my sole prey.  She was in her forties and was fair to good.  I listened to her lilt from across the Irish Sea (had she set forth from Shannon?).  As we staggered from Trafalgar Square towards the Thames she still seemed a tad cromarty towards me.  And though my eyes roamed over her body from North to South Utsire, yet still she was as cold as Southeast Iceland.


I resigned myself.  Tonight I was going to get Rockall.

She still sounds like a bit of an old dogger to me. 
Very clever Mr.S.

Nice little turn - and I agree with your intro too. I enjoy listening to Brian whatshisname waffling on about pigeons and bendy buses when he's supposed to be comentating on the test match at the Oval - the crusty old fart. (Or do I mean Henry Blowfelt (p) Either way, I enjoy it, and he's a crusty old fart. 
 
Enjoyed, especially the dogging - although wouldn't you have had to give her the Bailey's first?

Very clever. Liked it - especially with Phil's comment as an addendum (the dogging one...) 
 
Radio 4 is truly a national treasure :grin
