Has anyone else had problems listening live online today? Instead of clicking on the top-right-hand-side buttonny thing, I've had to go through a long and irritating rigmarole that kept trying to make me listen on LW and then to 5Live.
Or is it just my puter playing up?
Bah!

bl**dy cricket, eh? Insult upon injury!
So, peeps, is this a Beeb-wide problem, just R4, or are they picking on Eddie and his devotees(!!)?

Why not just spell it out. It is you who are drumming up a stamp duty scare. It would'nt matter what anyone in the government said. You make the (non) news and continuously repeat it. Just like the run on Northern Rock. Why not take the credit instead of avoiding the obvious truth?

EricZ, sorry, bit of an in-joke. That Mair fellow is sometimes referred to 'affectionately' as Eric (Muir).

As Scottish education is viewed as being better than education standards in England, are there stats comparing accuracy of spelling in the 2 different systems?

re Spelling
People can simply learn to spell correctly. To have alternative spellings and/or choices just leads to slip shod
practice.
I do not know any foreigner who cannot spell ENGLISH words correctly.
And English is one of the hardest languages to learn.
Their use of the grammar is also usually perfect.

What Planet or Galaxy does George W Bush live in/on...at least 2 million Americans locked up and if Noam Chomsky is correct at-least 30 million USA citizens goes hungry....hence may I suggest before this man makes anymore crude crass assertions about other countries - that he should look in the mirror for the real Truth about Human Rights....

I should just note that 'poor Americans' (locked up) would have been more truthful to my little Blog tonight and also I was not aware that China in the last few years had invaded 2 countries which in the process has killed thousands...and if John Pilger is correct the USA has been involved in 72 interventions in other countries since the 2nd World War...Pilger 2006 -Freedom next Time..

F_O 3, I write nasty postcards to the BBC from France complaining about missing PM and The World at One because of the bl**dy cricket on LW. I can't get FM over there.

Tbird, ignore them more likely. R4/the Beeb always brushes off these complaints.

It is an interesting thought about who is the cart and who is the horse in terms of setting the news agenda.
Robert Peston and the combined weight of the BBC, a rolling 24 hour juggernaut;
or Alistair Darling and his multi billion pound at the Treasury, with all of HM Government, on behalf of each and every one of us.
One has all the power of money to spend, and the other all the need of air-time to fill.

Tbird 20, They never reply. Or stop the bl**dy cricket!

Morning All,
Thanks for posting.
Sorry this is brief. I'm on a day off and trying to rush and control two small but largely uncontollable children at the same time.
I was pleased with what we did in Stamp Duty, because I thought it shed a bit of light on how these things get into the public domain... and how difficult it is to control a story like this.
Yes the media is involved but to suggest we just make all this up is a wide of the mark.
Lots of response, on different strand, to the spelling item. I am sure it will feature in Friday's letters.
