I find the New Zealand and Australian accents totally indistinguishable
Slightly off topic I remember GWR with whom Capital mergerd to form Global had a policy at one time of employing Australian newsreaders I was living in Derby at the time and it was a joy to hear them struggling with some of the local names This was before tinterweb so unless I came to London I couldn't hear LBC So just wondered with all the chat on here about accents did LBC employ any ? |

Alec Salmond challenging Boris to a debate on LBC. That may be interesting.

I don't know if the God of Bad Radio's gift to Mankind, Jono Coleman, counts. He's English born but was raised in Oz. He did the 10-1 morning slot back in the Crysalis days. Thankfully he didn't occupy it for long.
I did hear him on there with Russ Williams but wouldn't like to comment on how he performs in an all talk situation He seemed reasonable as a side kick |

Ian Dale has not got much clue about Scottish politics. The question of another indy ref in the event of a UK leave vote was dealt with at the GE last year. The mandate won was overwhelming.

If the UK exits the EU and Scotland exits the UK, they would have to apply for re-entry under Article 49, which would treat them as a new applicant. It could take years before they are re-admitted.

Thanks Martin I didn't know that either Wonder if he is related to the even more wonderfully named ATHOL Guy He's the bass player of The Seekers The Aussie group whose singer Judith Durham has still got one of the most exquisite voices on this earth in my humble opinion Sorry slightly off topic there |

Ian Dale needs to remember that Cameron signed the vow promising to keep the BF. No point crying that it's not fair now.

Maybe Ian Dale is having a bad day but his ignorance on Scottish politics is incredible. God knows what he was coming out with during the indy ref but if it was like his performance today then it must have been funny.

Is it just me who thinks about turning LBC off when Salmond is on?

Brian rather famously patronised an email correspondent from Australia by mocking the accent while he read it out. It was particularly embarrassing (and was around the time he used the term "Red Indian"). It begged the question, would he mock an emailer from Pakistan in such a fashion?
Brian being known for some of the liberal views he sometimes conveys he seems to get away with it. Perhaps he should try 'swarms' or 'a bunches' of migrants next to see if he gets away with it. |

The EU is steeped in 'ye ole stuffy bureaucracy. There's nothing like being controlled by these officials, akin to a regime offered by the Argentine junta surely?

I don't think the Junta are elected either are they, military despots?

I see the EU as 'a bunch' of intransigent officials, they're so uncompromising - like 'a swarm' of self-appointed rulers. Will that do instead? ![]() My broadband has been down, there was a glitch in the BT network. |
