Why do all ‘cost of living’ reports have to be so dumbed down
Last night there was the story about the energy price cap coming down a bit, Reeta explained it in the studio well enough with graphics on the screen.
But then we had a report from Coletta Smith finding out what people in a theme park thought, interviewing them with all the usual lines about how they are ‘cutting back a bit, not spending as much on luxuries’ etc. All completely pointless vox pops that we’ve heard a million times before.
I’m sure they only went to a theme park so they could illustrate the line about prices going up and down with a rollercoaster doing the same, but it was completely pointless
