The Yorkshire and Lincolnshire Thread

But she said that she was not employed by her company who had been contracted by the BBC ...
So actually nothing to do with the BBC ...
The use of personal service companies was very common in all industries ....
And the BBC has been trying to follow every changing HMRC advice
Thus is the start if it all

But HMRC and its CEST tool which is not fit for purpose

Just makes it even more confused

Before the BBC iirc. She quit because the BBC wanted to pay her as an employee and she refused.

That was certainly her defence which was accepted at the original tribunal.

Calendar spot on tonight with coverage of the floods over the last 24 hours.

I bet Uncle Peter will be in his nice warm studio though...

.....and on Levy Live. A Meadowhall story.

She didn't quit.

Levy boxing with Luke Campbell on Look Levy tonight - has to be the most camp ridiculous thing ever seen

The programme these days seems to be about 5/10 minutes of news (enough for an opt out?) and the rest filler.

Lovely cockup on the lunchtime Look North. Awkward with weather being the main story at the moment.

Apologies from technical staff who selected computer feed from studio next door where @lisaweather was doing Look North Newcastle weather! https://t.co/dsENXhhXtI

Two errors with the Look North Weather in recent days

On Saturday they played out the NE&C Weather instead of ours. Amanda didn’t seem to notice so it passed without question.

Then at lunchtime today, Paul’s graphics were again the NE&C ones. As it was a live forecast Paul just ad-libbed over the top of them, as something completely different was being shown behind him.

Philippa Goymer was on late look north NE&C last night, was this her first?
