So whilst of course I understand that the BBC has to respect the death of Phil, I think they really flogged this to within an inch of its life this weekend. I didn't watch much TV so can't really given an opinion on that, however usually when we are pottering about inside we'll have the radio on. (Radio 2) I actually had to turn it off on Friday night due to the maudlin music and downbeat, sombre mood of the DJs. I particularly like the Friday night mix as they have shows dedicated to the 60s and 70s, then 80s and then 90s music so a bit of variety. That said, I could (kind of) understand why they had changed to a more sombre mix.
However this continued on bloody Saturday AND Sunday meaning the radio remained off all weekend. I know the Beeb had loads of complaints about going OTT. I think a lot of it was justified personally.

They are stuck between a rock and a hard place, too much coverage and people complain, too little (I must confess the outrage at Channel 4 for not cancelling their afternoon schedule on Friday was hilarious) and the defund the BBC nutters will have a ball. I see similar is developing WRT Meghan, attends funeral 'Meghan tries to upstage Queen' M doesn't (which would be understandable in light of the size of the family and restricted numbers) 'Meghan shuns royals for attention' |

Who moves next to a dual carriageway and doesn’t expect some noise! Keep your mouth shut and try to move, don’t advertise that your house has an issue!

I think that most punters will identify the problem without too much prompting |

Classic arms folded looking sad look. Absolutely no sympathy with her at all, anyone with eyes can see their garden is literally within centimetres of a dual carriageway. What a plum! |

Limited sympathy, but how did that house get built? Surely this kind of thing is why we have planning regulations?
(I realise this is basically the Horlock07 bat signal)

I was reading through the article and that exact question popped into my head, how on earth did that house get built! I wonder how many balls get kicked over the fence onto the road? |
