DO WE SPOT LARGE SAVINGS AT THE BEEB?

What a turn around; one week reporting from a square in the centre of Cairo, the following week, having a day off with strike action (in action). Well! I think we survived adequately. The replacements were a breath of fresh air. They were not promenading like the usual suspects; they just reported the news, with little or no political bias, which is how it should be when reporting to mature folk.

So Chris Patten, we can start to shed many of these 'tarts', both male and female. How about two strikes and you're on the list. That should cool a few ardours.


IT IS PUBLIC MONEY WE'RE TALKING ABOUT.
