Me too. Makes me feel, comfy, secure and definitely part of an island nation.
For me, the shipping forecast is like a sort of ritual chant in a way - that's not quite what I mean - I find it reassuring but also don't really listen hard to it because I don't know what everything that's said means, and for some strange reason I don't want to.
It's just enough that it's there, and it helps the people it's supposed to help. Reminds me of my dad, and of the RNLI and the hymn For Those in Peril on the Sea.
