BBC Breakfast

Don't know about that, depends when Dermot's on or not but he probably will be doing more weekend editions as Simon's done the last few weeks.

Noel Thompson put in another appearance this morning.

I'd have thought that Dermot and Bill would have swapped whilst he was dancing with Bill on Mon-Thurs and then Dermot on Fri-Sun. Whilst Bill was doing Strictly Come Dancing he ended up presenting Friday and occasionally on Sunday. It is a bit of a waste of a good presenter IMO.

I dont see why Moira shouldn't present on Breakfast.

After all, she's got years of experience but even though she's not got a degree in journalism, surely a journalist could write her questions which they sometimes do for her anyway.

Anna Ford hasn't got a degree in journalism but shes still capable of presenting a main bulletin.

You're right, she's got a degree in Eng Lit or Law, which is quite acceptable for journalism... IIRC Moira just hasn't got journalism TRAINING.

Have you not thought that she's happy with her role?

I'm sure she'd like to have a more high-profile role though but yes, like you say edward, Moira will be happy in her current role, I'm sure.

I thought I misheard this morning on Breakfast, but a friend just mentioned it to me now. Moira Stewart said at 07:10hrs that "there was 5 metres of snow in Gloucestershire last night"

Ummm, back to school for whoever wrote that, (doesn't Moira listen to what she's saying ?)

Assuming you're talking about the use of the word 'was' instead of 'were', that's correct. 'Snow' is a singular entity so you use 'was' .

If you were saying 'there were 5 metres of bananas in Gloucestershire last night' it would be correct

Yes, very good, but that's not the error I was referring to.

I assume he's probably referring to the implication that 5 metres of snow would reach a height around 3 times greater than an average person!!! And I know they were having problems in Gloucestershire, but it wasn't that bad!

Indeed.

I see the same levels of care and attention are here too
