Just how current am I?
Well peeps,
what can I say? I have only posted 3 blog entries, and already the effects are being felt across the world. Obviously, not a lot has happened to Victor Hugo recently, as the poor fellow is no longer with us. My other two entries already have additional updates, as clearly the whole fabric of the British establishment is reading with interest.
Firstly, the economy in Britain. Whilst Lord Mandelson has been discussing Jaguar/Land Rover and hogging the limelight from the Badger who is in charge of the Treasury, Alistair Darling has discreetly been mentioning to certain newspapers that the depression/recession may affect us more than other economies after all.
Secondly, today the BBC received two more fines for dodgy competitions last year. Whilst only two shows were fined, three were admonished. One of these shows was for Londons local BBC radio station, but the other two were for Radio2. The London station and Radio2 were fined for running competitions during pre-recorded shows, where the winner was announced during the shows. Anyone who actually listened to the show could not win, yet were urged to enter. The other Radio2 show, which incurred no fine, was because the competition received no entries. To avoid the embarrassment of announcing that no-one had entered the competition, the show invented a winner!
Wow, only 3 days on the job and I’m striking gold.
If you want to keep up-to-date, you know where to come.
