A sad day.

312 News In Brief was the only way for an out-of-towner like myself to get Swindon news for a fairly substantial period of my life.

I hate to think how many hours I sat staring at 337 Vidiprinter to update.  The yoof of today have it easy with there Stelling Soccer Saturday's

I use the digital equivalent far more regularly than the BBC sport website.

Shit, so do I. Funny when you think about it but I was actually enthralled.
