I love all the old classics - Ella Fitzgerald, Lady Day, Louis Armstrong. Anything from that era really.

FTFYOriginally posted by vetran View Postyou think if we started releasing poor quality voice overs in Urdu we wouldn't get the mick taken out of us?
Bob originally refers to cheap and poor quality labour imported to cut costs . The fact so many examples come from India isan observation many people makea result of the trend started by Blair and Mandelson in their relentless quest to reduce costs at any price.
And a trend that has continued under our beloved Tories who can deflect the blame by saying 'it was that Cable wot did it'.
