Missing Mickey already

Wake Up to Money was renamed Wake Up to Mickey on Radio 5 Live this morning, marking the frankly inexplicable departure of commentator Mickey Clarke, in place and making sense since 1994. Peter Allen and Jane Garvey were among those paying tribute, but perhaps more impressive was praise from Andrew Bailey, just over two weeks away from his new job as Governor of the Bank of England. Andrew's been in the banking sector since 1985, so there's probably no better endorsement. And even less of a rationale for getting rid of Mickey.
