Andy Murray won Wimbledon? In my grandad's lounge, with my mum, yelling my head off! Luckily my grandad is deaf and won't wear a hearing aid, so he didn't hear the noise we were making!!
When the son of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge was born? At home when the comfirmation of the birth came through. I was also at home watching when they left hospital, having just come in from work. I am a royalist so I was very happy. I am happy for the representative of Republic to have his time to comment, but if there is anyone else who agrees with him, maybe they had the sense to keep quiet? I did question myself, as a media studies graduate, whether some of the news coverage was OTT, but I have to say that the main channel coverage wasn't that bad. It was only on News 24 where I would argue that they were guilty of too much waffle. It is difficult though for news edtiors to decide what's best. To stay and have people um and ahh because the person being waited for has gone off schedule by 5 mins (which in TV is an age), or cut back to another news item? They might get away with another report, or they might have to cut back almost immediately. Nobody knows. One thing we do know is whatever they do, somebody will moan. Moaning is a British institution. If it is ever outlawed, I don't want to think about what the British (or possibly even more specifically, the English, according to one of my colleagues!) would do!
