It drives me crackers, but I can't tear myself away, I've got to listen to what its got to say, My wittering, twittering tick-er-tape (ticker, ticker, ticker ticker .....) Anyone remember the rest? It doesn't seem to be here or on a number of Jake Thackray sites I've visited. |

And it was broadcast when Jake's had regular television appearances on "Braden's Beat", if I remember rightly. That's about all I can remember about it. |
