In my opinion (no one takes any notice mind) the BBC has lost its way. A
large number of its programmes are made by private companies, big
mistake. Whether it is un-topicality of Gardeners Question time or
spinning the Queen!

Some parts of GQT are topical. I have been involved with GQT recordings
which were broadcast three days later. As for the weather, let's not
forget that a) there have been one or two nice days in the
south/midlands in the last couple of weeks; and b) the torrential rain
hasn't fallen across the whole country: I have friends in Scotland, the
North-East and the South-East coast who claim to have had relatively
little rainfall.

Or could it be a strategic government secret plan to make sure there's
no mass
exodus of English people sick of the weather buying properties in the
South of France
and Africa in a relatively short time?! Can you trust those friends in
the North East
and South East?! Can you?! g
