	Bbc Are Falling Apart - Dance Music Forum
		The BBC is one of this country, and indeed the worlds, greatest assets.
		The good side of this is that they would be treated on a level playing field when it comes to complaints against Sara Cox (another part of my licence fee I object to), but the bad side is that they would then become answerable to a body which ultimately has a commercial objective.
		That aside, it was a bit comfortable that the BBC were damned and yet the govt were completely exhonerated.

		However, the overnight relay of BBC Radio 4 and BBC Radio Ulster had Outlook at 04:05, and although it was followed by Off the Shelf at 04:45, it was obviously a different copy since it was all of 6 seconds ahead of 648/Radio Wales, which would have involved 18 satellite hops.
		However to replace the offshore pirate stations the BBC started several new services which included many small local radio stations on medium wave, several of which were granted use of the frequencies formerly used by the pirates.
		I suspect the BBC moved their local station without much of a fuss as their right to be there was perhaps a little tenuous anyway.

		Lots of people from Somerset proudly fly the red wyvern and think it is the county's flag.
		But here's the rub; if you fly one of the many available Somerset flags you are for official purposes not flying the county's flag at all, but that of the County Council.
		The red wyvern of Somerset (a dragon actually, heraldically speaking) can be seen everywhere in the county on practically everything that belongs to Somerset County Council from libraries to lamp posts.
