Newsreaders talking bollox

[hairyben]

Just seen the biggest load of bks on BBC news- following the (ex) prime ministers motorcade taking an unusual route from westminster to kings cross, via old street.

Newsreader obviously didn't have a clue where they were- old street roundabout "now a moment away" driving up the pentoville road towards islington "now passing euston and the british lirary" turning onto caledonian road to go onto grays inn road "now on the kings cross forecourt"

WTF? muppet.

as I;m not a londoner, I wouldnt recognise any of those rosds. In the same way that you would'nt recognise the difference between Aylestone road, Melton road and Lee Circle up here.

What's your point??

Probably all part of a "cunning plan" by the security services to send those nasty terrorists to the wrong locations!

Haha I doubt many people would hear that list and put 2+2 together and realise that the route taken to go via those places in that order is stupid.

My point? Why talk sh!te? Is this regular, ie do newsreaders make up anything on the hoof when they don't know?

Maybe he was picking up something on the way, perhaps some donuts for Prince Philip?

[Gizmo!]

What? You mean he was within 100m of me and I didn't have any eggs handy?

Damn.
