I assume that's why she was standing up rather than sitting down.
By the way, why does the 10 require half an hour preparation, kicking NC into N8, but the 1 doesn't? (The 6, for new readers, is broadcast from another studio).
Now the terrorist attack was merely a 'co-ordinated assault' according to the BBC News.
Purlease It's a fact the people in hotel felt terrified, which means they were being terrorised, which in turn means the people terrorising these terrifed people must have been terrorists, doing a terrorist attack!
I'm turning the telly off now, before I stick my foot through it.
Last night, when the number was first announced, they cocked it up as well, by giving out 0207 009 0000, when the correct number has 008 in the middle.
Simply displaying the start of the number as 0207 is incorrect. The London code is 020 and should be followed by xxxx xxxx.
From what I'd seen on news bulletins, BBC were displaying the number in the correct format, where as ITV were not.
No-one cares what 'format' phone numbers are displayed in. You type it in as xxxxxxxxxxx anyway!
I understand there are at least 5 people in the big city called LONDON and if they dial xxx xxxx instead of 7xxx xxxx it won't work. That's why it's incorrect. Most people dial local numbers without the area code, although here in Reading people still haven't got to grips with their phone numbers being 0118 9xx xxxx not 01189 xxx xxx, a decade after it was changed. It's actually bloody annoying and wrong.

The worst offender is Northern Ireland who always display numbers in the incorrect format. Never 028 xxxx xxxx.
Londoners may be parochial enough to think the world revolves around them, yet they don't think that just dialling everything after 020 will get them through (how odd!). They also miss the fact that alot of central numbers are 020 3xxx xxxx).
It doesn't seem to have occurred to them how that doesn't fit in with the legacy of 0171!!
Why do people splash their mobile numbers on the side of vans as:
07999123456
There is a reason for the seperation in numbers, aside from the code: it's because it's easier to remember.
07999 123456
registers with the brain easier!
The caps of Maxine remind me of when they were in N8 and used to have one presenter at the desk and another at the screen in the right hand pod at the top of the hour. But since they moved into N6 the presenters never seem to leave the desk.

Yes it was coz of Dateline London.
Think it's coz the 1 is produced by the News Channel and is more like a normal News Channel top half hour.
