Indeed. How many other great grandfathers died today, and what of them?

All that money being wasted by the BBC. Today they have proved that
they only need one TV channel and one radio channel!

I don't care about them either......

Yes you would think that nothing else happened in the world.Even worse was
the way all the late evening local radio shows on the Beeb were full of
completely changes content, mostly involving members of the public calling
in to say about the day they saw him walk past on the other side of the road
etc.

I think what he says is true though. I don't think he himself would want all
this fuss and it has been expected since Christmas in any case. They could
have made a special retrospective in the interim months and done him proud,
instead of suppressing world news and moving every schedule around. Not
everyone will want to be depressed by this news, but as I used to regularly
talk to a bloke who drove carriages who knew him, he was very amused by the
sort of things that were said about people who died who could be real pains
in the neck when alive and often retorted that I hope the don't do that when
I go. I think being such a down to earth bloke with a sense of humour and a
very mischievous tendency, was probably what kept the Queen sane over all
these years.

The worst I listened to was some reporter telling us he joined the navy
as a lieutenant and had risen up the ranks to become not only a admiral
of the fleet but also a field marshal.

They carried R4 from the time the death was announced so a 00.30 it was
around 12 hours of R4 on R4Ex!

what a waste

Yes good luck finding a field at see then.
One supposes somebody must feed this junk to the presenters.
Do the bbc have a button they press as they did on the day one assumes that
immediately cuts off all networks and puts on the same output everywhere? I
also find it ironic that it took the bbc 8 minutes to announce his death
whereas Sky were on it straight away, followed shortly by ITV etc.
The bbc and probably other organisations have a department which keeps a
fact file and obituary up to date constantly for important figures and for
some reason call them project (insert name of horticultural species her)

I had to laugh yesterday afternoon. I was looking around the local stations
Saturday afternoon. Most either had the copyright message on the stream, but
Solent seems to have two streams. The one on BBC sounds simply had an open
mike in a commentary box somewhere, I heard a pa playing Rolling stones and
KC etc, then a person bumbled up to the mike gave some reports on other
matches and went away again. This was on bbc sounds which according to the
blurb was a football commentary on Eastleighs game.
The one found via mytuner radio was actually the commentary as you would
expect.
After the second half started the sounds feed went to the right source.
It was more entertaining than sport as you could hear folk swearing as they
walked past chatting to each other etc.

I guess somebody forgot to press the right button after some other show.
