Why I love bbc Radio 4...
 

or 'her britanic majesty's imperial wireless society'

ok, it's a little bit rude, but the mp3 clip of naughtie trying to hold it together is utter gold. As a regular R4 listener, everything is very straight laced on the Today program, as a rule, but occasionally something sneaks past live on air. :haha:

Shame they dont broadcast into north america anymore. :oops:

can't you get it streaming online, or is it one of those 'not available in your country' things you sometimes see on youtube?

Thanks for the link jumpy, my GF will love that one!

Of course I can but its just not the same as tuning it in on the shortwave.

I now listen to Radio Chine and Cuba.. they have some funny and odd segments in their english broadcasts.

But I dont want to wander off your topic. :salute:

Cool stuff, Jumpy. Thanks!

I love the fact that Andrew Marr repeated it again later after being so determined not to. :har:

Which makes me wonder.... why are you Brits so sensitive about it? You aren't the US of A, are you? Everyone knows Americans go completely nuts over any of those x-words, but you Brits?!:-?

What's so bad about them anyways? I use them all the time, especially the "f-word" and the Dutch version of the "c-word" (pretty much the same, only without the n and with a k instead of a c). What's wrong with that?

F word, not so bad, S, also not so bad, but there's a few words that strike a cord, and the C word is one of them. After all, Damn and Bloody were considered extremely bad form on UK broadcasting even thirty years ago.
