'Thought of the day' is not his thought, I'm sure it would involve expensive cars.
But it's a left over from when Sir Terry of Wogan did the breakfast show, at 9.15 every morning he had a religious type in doing 'thought of the day' and Chris Evans has kept it on.
I love Chris Evans on my Radio 2 morning, but I sooooooo miss Terry Wogan and his 'Janet & John' episodes.
