I'm sure they have a reason for going on strike , but where as 30 years ago you only had a couple of channels and everything stopped if the BBC went down we have more channels then we care about , more news channels than news so in reality who's bothered.!!

I watched the 6o/clock national news tonight and every face was a new face. Apart from that all seemed well and things proceeded as normal.

As a licence payer can I therefore suggest that the BBC sack their highly paid "known face" news readers and stick with the cheaper alternative.

Is that the station that keeps running The Goons, Derek? Couldn't believe my ears, picked it up by chance on the car radio up near Cairns.

 {-)...good to hear from you Jonty   :D : ...I think the Goons are reserved for your BBC audience....... ABC 97.3 FM in OZ is pretty good....

middle of the road
interesting political cover
accurate news
semi accurate  %% weather reports 
each day @ midday we have the cattle & sheep auction prices

& the I go to the butcher & find the price of lamb cutlets is x 4000% higher than the farmer was paid @ auction  >:-o >>:-(
