Is Stu from Poland?

That's hard physical work which should not be mentioned on the same page as Stu.

News “Manager”...WTF? These people are journalists...News Editor surely? News Manager sound like some Government appointed spin doctor to ensure that official news output is consistent with the wishes of the state...oh....hang on....errr.

Maybe I have the title wrong - apologies!

Good old ninth-rate Manx Radio news reporting:

Switching lanes to overtake queing traffic and driving through an area marked off by traffic cones is also condemned.

After enduring another painful David Callister experience, I know could have changed stations !!!!!  but enjoyed his thoughts about Doddy it is that excruciating competition that really does my head in this week animals next week expressions containing the word hand....I had to turn over to Radio 2 when The Doctor came on, not that I do not find him interesting just cannot hear or understand a word he says, probably a lovely man.

So if next week’s competition is expressions containing the word “hand” I volunteer this:

You have to hand it to Manx Radio, as no other local organisation has such a hand in taking a government hand-out, to the extent that it’s virtually out of hand. They know how to do it like the back of their hand and as I’ve seen it first hand I’d like to wash my hands of them but I think our hands are tied.

I see (or rather, hear) that MR's cost cutting is underway.  The letter G is now excised from all broadcasts, so we have a delay in the flight arriving from Birminum and this evenin can expect light snow fall. 

I am not advocating 1950's  BBC pronunciation, but can the presenters not go on some training to at least sound each letter in a word?  Radio is entirely sound and speech, so sloppy speech or exaggerated affectations just grate.

Manx Radio is the home of affectation. From the weather man up.

Well they can’t spell and they can’t punctuate so dropping G’s and H’s was just waitin’ to ’appen. Perhaps you should call the “pleece”.
