Mention has been made previously of Shads tracks being played as backgound music on CDWM and there was a good one in last Sunday's current seies. One of the hosts was serving duck as a main course and the backgound music was....."Bombay Duck."

The Producer, or whoever is responsible for selecting the music, is obviously a Shads fan but perhaps his Shads knowledge is better than his food knowledge because Bombay Duck is actually a fish which is usually dried and salted before being eaten (but we all knew that didn't we?)
