Haven't tried for 35 years, presumably you have to tell them what you want and they get it now?

Haven't tried for 35 years, presumably you have to tell them what you want and they get it now? Last time I went, I was told to keep to a certain area, and had to fill out a myriad of disclaimer forms - just in case I ate Asbestos, Drank Petrol/Oil, washed myself in Diesel, tap danced on top of rotting double decker bus and fell into cubing machine.
One the way out, they also checked my toolbox (fnar fnar) to ensure I hadn't nicked Relays/Bulbs/Switched etc....

I've mentioned news presenters before, something about them really winds me up, one in particular is Robert Moore on ITV News, if you've ever heard him do a report he sounds like it's the most important thing you'll ever hear, as if he's doing a trailer for the end of the World. Another Robert is Robert Peston, how can you take a man seriously who opens a show on politics by saying 'wotcha'? Wotcha? Does he think he's on Eastenders? I can't think of one tv news presenter I like. What happened to just reading the news with a serious face?

The BBC "Look North" has changed it's format - during the morning regional "opt out" in BBC Breakfast. We used to get a set familiar face news reader from Leeds.
With the changes we now have BBC Humberside included for these morning bulletins only - a different news reader every morning - and so obvious they haven't mastered Autocue. Obviously the newsreaders who aren't yet allowed to do it when a larger audience may be watching.
The way BBC Breakfast presenters conduct interviews really grind my gears - they are either
A) Patronising - if talking to someone who has achieved something/won something/donated something to charity B) When interviewing Politicians and the like - they will fire a question, and then constantly butt in - while the Politician is trying to answer the question.
I don't have much regard for Politicians as it is - though; if you ask them a question - let them answer it and the viewer decide on what they think.

I think some of presenters do a good job, however, particularly on radio, they try to cover too much ground instead of concentrating on one or two topics. Brian Walden used to do that I believe but the producers have decided the market needs a vast amount of topics in the one show. Slow down!

Those awful American, made for TV Christmas films. Channel 5 keep putting them on during the day and I end up catching little snatches of them while recording Neighbours for Mrs C. They are all the same, presenting an impossibly idealised, perfect image of America. Crap of the highest order.

The Hallmark Channel shows them all day every day & they're every bit as sincere as their greeting cards-
My mum watches stuff like this, God bless her.

Worse is that Sony Christmas channel which has had them on since August FFS. Surely it's Freeview slot can be used for something better?
