The BBC are at it again!

The BBC are at it again!

Quote: It's a quiet road, except for the traffic...

 

Technically not the BBC, but a quote from a local.

 

Complain to them. A little bird tells me the BBC is absolutely
shitting itself about audience complaints at the moment and is
taking them extra-seriously.
They've also committed to making it easier to find the contact
details, but if you have any problems, drop me a line and I'll
see what I can find.

 

Could anyone explain what the BBC have done wrong in publishing a
verbatim quote from a local? OK, it's a stupid quote, but hardly
something which indicates a scandalous bias at the beeb.

 

Another quote:

He drives a metallic grey-black Rover SDI Turbo, registration number
R258 LCE

They stopped making the SDI in 1986

 

Do they say if he drink drives or not?

 

David Toft says...

Wrong, they stopped making the SD1 (Ess Dee One, not Ess Dee Eye).
Numerous fuckwits around the world mistakenly called the old big Rover
2000, 2300, 2600 and 3500 by the wrong designation for years.

The SDi is a 200 series car with a turbo diesel engine.

HTH

 

What was the next line?

 

says...

From me or her?

 

Her.

 

says...

I don't remember. I do remember my response, which was along the lines
of "It's just as well neither of us are bothered about looks then"

 

You smooth talking bastard.

 

I saw one that made me chuckle today, at the end of the review of Prince of
Persia 2

"I used to say Sands Of Time was 50% fighting and 50% exploring and
puzzles," says Mr Mallat. "In this game it's 100% both."

Nice.
