The newsreaders just keep on dumbly reading it out every half hour.
You'd think that the London travel newsroom would have some vague
idea about transport in London.


Would you? Why? Do you think it is a requirement for people who mention
London in the things they read out to be Londoners?


Could be interesting for the shipping forecast...


I'd expect whoever organises the shipping forecast to know something
about shipping and weather, and I'd expect whoever organises London
travel news to know something about London and travel.


Well, not any more I wouldn't.


Blimey, I really think you're making a mountain out of a molehill
about this, I really do.


Really? *I just made a comment in what, in my haste, I saw as a
particular context, and came back to find fifty-odd responses, mainly
inferring a different context, so I've explained it a bit better.

In other words, much of this mountain didn't need to be piled on my
molehill.


OK, fair comment - though I was really (over)reacting to your specific
comment above, the "not any more I wouldn't", though I see in turn it
was itself a response to others comments. (You will see that I did
take up Chris Tolley on his comments - though actually it might have
been better to leave you to answer his questions.) This is all getting
kinda jumbled up so I'll step away from it now!
