I was listening to a press conference today on the radio. The machine-gun like racket from the cameramen was just about all I could hear. Not in itself a problem, as live press conferences are the most futile things on the radio as you usually have to guess what the question was that the foreign football manager is answering so incoherently.
I could understand it in the days of 35mm and motor drives, but why are the members of Her Majesty's Press Corps so bloody noisy?
