A Lot of News About..............

......................something of no interest to 99.9% of the population.

I don't know how many times over the weekend and on Monday I heard on the radio news that Oxford Street in London had been pedestrianised.

So???

Many towns and cities in all parts of the country have pedestrianised shopping centres. News about nothing.

I think it's called London-Centric - meaning too much importance on London. Of course this is one reason our new PM got his job - being a bloke form 'up north' and reminding everyone that there is more to the England than London.

It annoys me that the BBC have shortened news programmes from local areas. Look East - the BBC  early evening regional news TV programme used to be half an hour and divided into two parts for east and west of the area. Now it's often just 20 minutes squeezed into the national news and covers everywhere from Milton Keynes and Peterborough in the west to Lowestoft in the East.

I think I heard they are getting rid of BBC Radio Scotland  sometime too.

Really this is a post about nothing of interest - so 99.9% of readers should ignore!😐
