Does anyone remember the old story of the the BBC Scotland radio broadcast?

Apparently it was an "end of news" amusing story about a fisherman who had been attacked by an alsation and had scared off the dog by biting its ear. This was the last item of news and was immediately followed by the shipping forecast

"...and now the shipping forecast...Dogger, Fisher, German Bight...!"
