One of the nice things about the tributes and media coverage of Peel's death is the lack of maudlin sentalmentality. Everyone is sorry to see him gone and they all miss a broadcaster of taste and integrity; but no-one is "crying in the streets," no-one feels that they "can't go on." In short, everyone is behaving rationally, like adults. Surely a worthy tribute to John Peel. I'm sure Boris Johnson approves.
