No wonder northerners react against it!

Hear, hear.

Presenters on national broadcast networks should not be making
comment about any conditions local to them. Local conditions should
be kept for the local/regional opt outs or stations.

I and the vast majority outside the SE have no interest what so ever
in knowing that it was raining during the rush hour in the SE. Do
they mention when it rains in Manchester or Birmingham? No, so why
mention it for London?

Conditions that may have knock on effects to people outside of the
local/regional coverage areas should be mentioned on the national
networks. Like when they can't cope with a few inches of snow and
have to close Heathrow for a couple of days...

Do you incude London in that statement ?

The only reason "they" can't cope with snow is an overreaction by Elf
'n' Safety mob whether it be union officials, local authorities and
the over the top doom and danger forecasts from UKMO itself. Most
ordinary working people in London and the SE need to get to work to
pay their rents and mortgages *which are the highest in the UK. So
when you say "they" who do you exactly mean? And when you talk of the
south which normally implies London I'll think you'll find "they " are
now almost 50% ethnic so do you mean them as well?- Hide quoted text -

The point I was making is that I believe its about 48% of the London
population is increasingly of an african, afro carribean and asian
origin. I say this as Col seems to be steroetyping some sort of north
south alignment that has to be fair been part in the very distant past
a tangible issue, but really that 48% I've jsut mentioned ; would they
be aware of this or even care let alone the indigenous population who
lost that mind set a long time ago. The first I even knew that there
was a slight Northern resentment for the south was when I stayed in
South Kirby in the late seventies-up until then in my upbrinnging in
London I neve once heard a disparaging remark about northerners; Col's
being a tad paranoid if you ask me.
