I am sorry but this Outside Broadcast on Gaynor Lord at 1430 is really really annoying me. (Prepare for a rant!)

First, I have never understood why the local team here could not report on it. Surely the reasons of having teams based across the UK is that they are able to report on events on their patch. At a time that the bbc is making huge cuts across news, how can it justify wasting money on paying a reporter to travel to Norfolk, accommodation and other expenses when they have a great team in Norwich. A local team know the area better.

Secondly, you’d have honestly thought that everyone in Norwich knows each other. Some of the discussions between them honestly ridiculous. Comments like “everyone knows everyone in Norwich” - no they don’t. “One person said she had a friend who has Gaynor as a fiend on Facebook, that’s common round here.” - I mean where to even start. Surely that’s common everywhere. “These are streets that people round here know.” - whod have thought it.

I want the facts of the story, not this waffle that adds nothing to the story.
