Londoncentric ******** as usual.

Ulster, Tyne Tees and Meridian. Hardly Londoncentric Bill!

I wish Meridian were a bit more Londoncentric. Here I am 40 miles from London,
yet here in Meridianland, so we have to put up with news stories from West
Dorset, North Oxfordshire, and the Isle Of Thanet !

Going off the subject a bit, I was round at our Carolyn's tonight and
she was watching the Sky News coverage of the Geordieland gunman
problem. First I showed her that she could get Sky News HD, which she
really liked because the aerial pics looked so good, then since she
was so fascinated I said "You can put their local news on" and showed
her nine hundred and whatever it is with the NE & C Look North. We
watched it and the bird with the microphone was stood on a hill
outside Rothbury. It was so much like The Day Today we both burst out
laughing. The she introduced this woman with a gob full of marbles who
turned out to be a high-up in the National Trust (or something) with
the words "...she knows the village better than anyone else!" Ha! I
wonder if the people who have lived there all their lives would agree
with that. Journos have zero respect for local people.
