Why? IME BBC News contains an average of one and a half errors per
sentence, so I don't know why you expect the travel news to be any better.


I only make it one per sentence; perhaps I should listen more closely.
I think BBS Radio 4 is excellent, The TV News from the BBS is truly
illiterate - the whole Society is run by analphabets, as I pointed out
earlier - but on the radio there are still some well-educated
individuals.


Analphabets? BBC News seems to be full of people who have English
degrees but can't change a fuse.
