Re: BBC != Netflix

Where on the BBC can find regional news, quality new music radio, oh and a national cultural history dating back a century? That's right : nowhere.

BBC Look North is fixed on Arts stories, magazine content and never touches the news, unless there is an option to promote leftist views ( and double so if they can mention Jo Cox )

Whilst working out how many people haven't changed username or password in the last 4 years, also try to work out how come LinkedIn is still running after all these years :D

So if a random someone walks up to me in the street and asks me for directions to their hotel - but upon arrival they find that it is closed, am I now responsible for providing them accommodation and a bacon sandwich in the morning ?
