We used to get a coach to school every morning and the driver used to listen to BBC Radio 2 on it. For the longest time I thought the DJ that had the breakfast show was called 'Joe Stracey' because they had this jingle that sounded like 'Radio 2 ... Joooooe Straaaaacey'. It wasn't until I was about 17 that I found out that the jingle actually said 'Radio 2 ... gooooes racing' and preceeded their tips for that days horse racing and that the DJ was actually Terry Wogan.
