Effing Radio 4

[Churchill]

"Women's Hour"? WTF? More like "Feminist lefty whale saving lentel eating hairy lesbian's" hour! When's it "Men's Hour"?

Another thing, why do radio presenters insist on affecting a foreign accent when mentioning some foreign Johnnies name? This only seems to have happened since "Sarkozy" or should I say "Sarkozeeeeee".

I've been in trouble with t'other half in the past for just that point. Her argument seems to be that the other 23 hours of the day on radio 4 are "Mens Hour" - a pure, unadulterated fallacy.

Wasn't there a Viz t-shirt of this many years ago(?), with decomposing whale in the background and placard-carrying hippy in the foreground saying:

"as you can see, I've been saving this one for some time!"

The BBC have been obsessive about that for years. Announcers think they're clever pronouncing foreign names authentically. They just do it to show off.

It's a wonder they don't talk about "Paree" and "Roma" and so on, instead of the anglicised names.
