Now I'm fully aware of the vitriol this post will bring down on me,and I don't give a terpenny ferk, but is there anybody in the BBC TV East Anglian region who has a view on the BBC's latest acquisition in its Eastern regional Look East programmes.
Robbie West is a product of the BBC's misguided attempts to dumb down its reporting by going out and trawling the streets for oiks with nary a GCSE to bring grit to its programmes.
This bloke was fished out of plumbing college (or was it electricians college) with no journalistic experience or qualifications and is quite unable to string a sentence together wivout dropping aitches left right and cen' er. (how do you represent a glottal stop on paper?)
Don't get me wrong: most plumbers and electricians can speak passable English, and I have no problems with regional accents , its the grammar and syntax (or lack of) which grates with me on prime TV.
Surely to god the BBC can find someone who doesn't call people attending university ' sch-chewdents' who 'doh-wanna' pay 'chew-ishun' fees .
Or catch the tchrain to Fetford wiv dere muvvers and farvers..
Dear gawd.
