Come on Radio 4!

I know this is going to seem like a well-ploughed furrow but there doesn't seem to be any positive happy motivating optimistic news either at the moment or on the horizon. Sad face emoticons just don't do it justice.

I am an unashamed Radio 4 listener - an addiction mainly arising from extended commuting periods in the car in the morning and the evening - but everything from Robert Peston's staccato diatribes through to the wet and windy weather forecasts seem designed to make us 'half empty people'.

So I think Radio 4 should try and include at least one happy story on air during the Today programme. Something to give us a lift as we head into work or trundle home in the ever darkening early evenings. Just a thought anyway. Maybe we could create some positive new stories - you know the kind of thing - Cat Rescued from Unstable Building/4Year Old from Norwich becomes Chess Grand Master etc. Let me know if you've got any great ideas.
