Remember when British TV was the envy of the world?
Cheers

Note to all: I really don't know when to leave well alone. I tried to get clever with the mods, then when they gave me a lifeline to see the
error of my ways, I tried to incite more trouble via u2u. So now I'm banned, never to return again. They should have done it years ago!

Another pile!!!
Pop Idol's back, Big Brother's just finished. This is why I'm getting rid of the telly as soon as we get Broadband round here.
Reality T.V.'s not my idea of entertainment, whose version of reality is it anyway?
yours, Pete.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Hey Peteff,
I reckon you're a candidate to watch "That'll Teach Them!".
This is where a group of modern 16yr-olds are treated to 1950's style education, and you look as though you were at school about then (as was
I). Check out the programme's accuracy, and note the disparity in academic standards.

Yes I had a 1950's style education, what the f*&k would I want to watch it all again for  . I'm getting rid of the goggle box and
I'll watch dvds' on the computer if I get withdrawal symptoms. I reckon the license fee is an unfair tax and the BBC is an illegal
monopoly which would not be tolerated if it wasn't run by the government.
yours, Pete.

Thankfully they passed as a fad.
Lets hope big brother and the other tosh does asap.

Pete, you could see just how poorly educated our youngersters really are. These 16yr--old, supposedly uni prospects generally failed a 1950's
11-plus paper (most scored <25%).
Government running the BBC???? Check out the Hutton inquiry; the Govmt would LIKE to run the BBC (but it then it would lose votes, nicht war?).

Is it because the subjects given now are different from 1950? I left school in 1975, so im probably somewhere in the middle of these two worlds.
Kids in modern schools now have to cover a lot of technology subjects - IT (information technology) being one, that were not around in 1950. So, kids
will tend not to know where Albania is, cos they gave geography up in order to do media studies or the like. But they may know instead about the seven
layer network protocols....
The world is changing - in my view not always for the better.
On BBC brekkie TV this morning there was an article about culture on the Tyne (be kind to the geordies please!). As there was no more ship yards on
the tyne, they had a lady in a black and red spanish style dress extolling how great it was that culture was bringing in jobs to Newcastle, and that
the baltic flour mills were now an art gallery.
So fu%^ing what?
All those people with heavy industry shipbuilding skills are now supposed to be selling cuppochinos, or tickets to an art gallery?
Or perhaps work in the call centre advising people of all the good, non productive, do bugger all for exports and balance of payments for the country,
interesting touristy things they can do where once real work went on.
Coals to newcastle? I bet - what pits are there now?
Its also a sign of change that as a hardware software guy im sitting at a computer and not hammering steel. At least my job creates things and my
products are exported worldwide.
Cuppochinos dont do that.
Somethings are for the better, some not. I wonder how much kids do need to learn to work in service industries anyway......?

The Hutton Inquiry!!!
That's going to ruin poor Tony's Barbados holiday. He ought to do the same to them as Maggie did to the miners. I was listening to the
radio the other day and the announcer said " email us from work with your views ". They think everyone in Britain works with a computer.
Myself I don't work at all but that's my problem, but the retirement age is being put forward to be raised to 70, not taking into
consideration that some people do manual jobs which wear them out physically and cause premature retirement or death in some cases. Also there are
shift workers on three shift and continental shift patterns which have also been proven to be detrimental to wellbeing. Labour was supposed to be the
champion of these sectors but now shuns them like a lower order. I'm alright Jack, pull the ladder up, Prescott being a prime example.
yours, Pete.
I've got fed up now, forgot the topic, going for a tablet, see you later.
