infatuation with London.......

[tufty7]

I am so fed up , every news programme has a report about London this , London that , Poor London , Great London ........ Rich Londoners , Poor Londoners , Very Rich Londoners , London has snow, London has the rain, London has the wind .......ffs....... Are you fed up with this London stuff being rammed down our ears at every opportunity and isn't it time for the news producers to address the balance As to be honest I don't care a damn what happens in London , Discuss...........

Where do you live?

[daniela31]

I take it you don't like London?
or their weather,
or their people?

[daniela31]

are you sure it wasn't just a small frisbee knobby?

It's just because it's the capital tufty. There are worse things that can happen...if you don't like I'd just switch over, don't get yourself stressed over it.

By the way...guess where I reside :)...a fabby little place called.....

(SE)...London!!

I did notice on the weather board the weather woman waved her hand dismissivly northwards and said the bad weather is moving north and her tone seemed to silently add (so that's alright then)

[dot.hawkes]

Bet if Preston is snowed in tomorrow it won't make the news headlines

[HatlessJack]

Agreed, Tufty.
All news, good, bad or indifferent, is Londoncentric.
Any 'London' correspondent is only ever sent as far 'north' as Hertfordshire; occasionally they make it to Buckinghamshire (probably because that's where they live).
Or there are reports from close around the 'local' BBC/ITV centres, leaving most of the country unvisited and unreported.

This board would have benefitted more had you spent more time trying to catch the discus and the javelin, knobby........

I take my passport and check the timezone when I go an hour north of London. :) :)

Beads... don't they eat children once you get outside the M25? ;-)

Sorry for being a Londoner :o(

[pastafreak]

Not sure what the problem is....the 'national' news on any of the channels...ie BBC or ITV will concentrate on London and the World news....the local news has an equal amount of time (30 min )devoted to it. Are you looking for more coverage of news around the country??Maybe that is what national newspapers are for ....or you can look on the internet.

[HatlessJack]

How very helpful of you, Pasta.
I'm quite sure that none of us oop north would have thought of that.......

Why should the national news concentrate on London ? It's the National news, the clue is in the name..........

[funnygirl]

We Londoners are IMPORTANT!

That's why we and our plights are in the news so much.

Got any more porn links, knobby ?
