    BBC Crap

    Other day high winds hit the South, they had cameras & presenters all along the coast, headline news non-stop all day.....

    ....Same storm hits the North.....they manage 2 minutes at 1/4 past the hour

    If you want the BBC up North, pay for a longer cable and a second hamster to pedal.

    I don't want BBC........

    I don't need BBC.......

    I don't want to have to pay a tax on something which I do not have any use for, or interest in.........

    As far as I am concerned you southerners can keep it, together with Jonathan ross, Terry Wogan and all the rest.

    If the BBC get your goat up, don't ever take to close a look at local goverment or the cvill service for wasting your money.
    Our company just signed another deal this week where a councill yet again spent far more than a similar size company would have for a similar service, im not sure wheter to go or

    Not true. I have friends working in local BBC, they don't get a driver nor do they earn huge amounts of money as some claim.

    Not BBC Wales, that's just an off-shoot to keep the natives happy

    They always manage to have twice as much gear on a racetrack than CH4, RUK & ATR

    The BBC are now going to save ISPS money by placing equipment in local exchanges to reduce the data being moved across the ISP's network due to the new Iplayer. This may be made redundant if technolgy goes in a particular direction.

    Guess who has the chance to pay for this?

    Crazy and have you seen Youtube or any other popular streaming site offer to help out the ISPs?

    No just the crazy BBC

    iPlayer has eaten up a bigger slice of the P2P pie since it's launch, and was closing to bringing down the whole UK infrastructure at one point.

    agreed it is all in the link above but im sure many people will not be happy if the iplayer affects either the BBC tax or means BBC have to save costs and show less cooking shows
