Me too (over 75% of all of the baked beans sold in the world by Heinz are sold in the UK!). Delighted to learn I am not the only BBC Radio 4 fan here.  :D

I wouldn't miss the 'Today' programme.
Nothing beats listening to politicians being made to look complete idiots (not difficult though that might be, I agree..!)

Strange Rover would be a very appropriate name, but it is not that.  I have seen this car in person, and it is even worse than it looks in the photos!

As a clue to its model name, the car uses a lot of parts from a lot of different cars, so...

I just exchanged some emails with the builder. He named this car the Strange Rover

That's not what he called it when I spoke to him last year at Santa Pod.  I have a photo of the 'Heinz 57' display board for the car too, which I will post when I find it.
A car is for life, not just for Christmas.
