AAMOI what's wrong with a radio radio?

Remember we are talking about a SWMBO'd here, logic doesn't come into it.
And knowing SWMBO'ds Radio 4 may actually mean Radio 4 Extra, that is a
digital only station. You are also making tha assumption that there is a
useable R4 FM or LW signal available (depending on her ethusiaium or not
for Cricket).

As for an "internet radio" Squeeze Boxes are OK but not cheap, but then I
don't think there are any cheap (£30) internet radios out there.
