You don’t need to explain what the Chancellor is

The German chancellor is always referred to as such, never “The German prime minister known as the chancellor, not to be confused with our definition of a chancellor, today announced…”

I think most people in the UK who listened during history lessons at school knows the position of German Chancellor and the previous holders.

There are multiple positions in the UK cabinet with similar titles:

[*]Chancellor of the Exchequer (2nd Lord of the Treasury)
[*]Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster (Random appointment given extraordinary powers)


In other news, I wish I had access to the WN feed tonight, as the domestic 10 led with:

[*]Navel-gazing about Lineker
[*]Navel-gazing by back-slapping celebs at the Oscars


I switched to Al-Jazeera!

If this is really the future of the 'new' BBC News, then I'll just remove it from my favourites list.
