Reported On Sky News

[hellywelly4]

Just watching Sky News and a female reporter outside 10 Downing Street doesn't seem able to finish her words properly. She missed off the 'g' on all words ending in 'ing ' I didn't catch her name. It was really noticeable.

[hellywelly4]

Predictive text again - Reporter, sorry

She's called Beth somebody and drives me nuts. Been on a while. Bad example.

[ladybirder]

At least she didn't put a 'k' on instead, i.e. anythink, somethink!

[vulcan42]

She probably went to the same school as the traffic reporters on radio 2 who constantly refer to a road as 'A twenny-one'.

Yes, helly, she's on right now and I agree she's awful - her name is Beth Rigby. No wonder I never normally watch Sky. We're not the only ones who find her voice gratin' and annoyin' :

You can even listen to her on this link - if you can bear it!

ladybirder
you mean like simon cowell :-)

[Smowball]

Just listened to the link - god isn't it irritating!

[Sqad]

It didn't register with me and I thought that she had a clear, strong and an ideal voice for a reporter.

[Sipowicz]

Drives me to distraction, I'll stick with BBC news.

[scooping]

Why don't we do something about it? Joint letter or something similar?

[Ken4155]

I am writin' a letter to my MP right now, askin' her to do somethin' about this aggravatin' woman.

[douglas9401]

When I see the words Sky News I just thing Ron Burgundy and more graphics.

[goodgoalie]

Sqad, I reckon you need your ears syringin' if you think her voice is ideal for a reporter

[hellywelly4]

Thanks for all the comments and for identifying the lady in question. I often watch Sky news (haven't got Sky btw, it's on Freeview), and I think they sometimes are more informative than the BBC, not always, I hasten to add. I switch between 130(BBC) and 132(Sky). I do think she sets a dreadful example, particularly to the young people, some of whom do speak quite badly. I would sign a letter to Sky if someone else would write it!

[goodgoalie]

Helly - how come you're watching BBC News on 130, and not the HD channel 107?

[Jackdaw33]

Strange. I get BBC News on channel 80.

Gina Gigglesgong - better know as 'ina ileson.;

[goodgoalie]

Eh?
