  • I have had ALOT of requests to do this video ever since I started my channel in 2013....! So I finally did it...! The Shipping Forecast began in 1867, then on radio in 1924. Using 13 maritime zones (now there are 31 zones), it is used by seafarers in order to safely navigate the waters around the UK inturn saving hundred of lives. Listeners have been using it for years to help them fall asleep, due to the monotonous nature of the broadcast; way before ASMR was even a thing!

      In South Africa when I was a kid we also had a Market Report broadcast after the lunchtime radio news, listing prices of fruit and veg with the same intonations. As a child I thought it was the most boring thing in the world, I certainly didn't associate it with the ASMR sensations I got from being measured for clothes or shoes, or having my hair cut by my dad.

    In the late 2000’s it was very peaceful. I was in a school surrounded by women supporting me and from time to time they would speak softly speaking or whispered during library lessons and exams. There was one lady who had a beautiful posh accent and had a gentle whisper voice also made mouth sounds whilst whispering and then people on RUclips started making whisper videos mostly women! Those were the days of my childhood!

    Warnings of Gales in the Irish Sea, Emmets in Cornwall, and Karens near London Heathrow complaining about lost luggage. Forecast is 'rough' in Croydon, snooty in Noting Hill and touristy in Picadilly. Occasionally moderate to strongly conservative near House of Commons, poor conditions combined with foggy grey cells in Downing Street.

    Sail on by with the tide

    Saturday's locked away on the pier

    Jumped off Land's End
