    Local News Reporting

    I'm getting a job as a local news reporter for the Express & Dingle ! This "report" contains a quote from the Police, a copy of their tweet, which says exactly the same thing and a story repeating what the other two parts says !! Money for old rope

    It’s as bad on local TV.......made worse by ancient presenters such as Nick Owen making a cracking job of being seriously unfunny.

    If it wasn’t for the sight of Elizabeth Glinka in a low cut blouse or thigh high skirts it’d be totally unwatchable.

    Oh for the days of Suzanne Virdee.

    Central News is even worse, for over a decade Bob Warman was on the coach and they hadn’t realised he was dead!

    News reporter? With formatting and grammar like that you'll fit in extremely well and could be in with a shout for editor on your first day. Congratulations in advance 😊 .

    When we went Dorset for our 25th wedding anniversary the local news was read by Fred Dineage who I always liked, he is as mad as a March hare. He finally retired just the other week.
    I don't watch Midlands news anymore, the only thing I watched it for was Joanne Malin on the one side and Suzanne Virdee on the other.
    Remember that black mon who sometimes appeared alongside Suzanne?
    He got jailed for running amok with a snooker cue at a party.🙄😂😂😂😂

    Blake that was the b ugger. I have just googled and seen the b astard has been rehired by the BBC. Makes you wonder if a white presenter would have got his job back.
    Two years inside for GBH on a 17 year old. Not as bad as s hagging Ulrika is it?
