It's great having a decent RDS radio & TA function's really helpful most of the time.
But why does it have to interupt the traffic news you're already listening to with a far less relevant one, timed to perfection so you miss the 5 seconds that matter while you try to cancel the interuption?
Is this a gift from Clarion, or did Peugeot decide it would be a good idea, does anyone know?
It would just help to know the nationality of the genius responsible, so I can rant appropriately.

Re: RM2 & Traffic Announcements
Now see, that's just bad planning by the radio stations. I noticed last week that some radio stations appear to put the travel reports on at pretty obscure times, like 8 and 38 mins past the hour, but that's just the radio stations getting together to not coincide with each other.
What I hate is when they forget to flick the switch back and you end up with 5 mins of some local shyte that you don't want to listen to.

My favourites at the moment are Wogan on Radio 2 (the Janet & John stories and listeners emails) and I like Moyles "car park catch phrase" etc.
