When I was a lad, it was called the Home Service. I hope the designers
haven't done away with "The Archers" - it's so comforting to visit England
after a gap of a couple of years and tune in to find that absolutely
nothing has happened. But I digress.

Time was when it would have seemed eccentric to refer to Algol 68 as a
"little language", but that was before the C++ standard.
