From here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-somerset-22908133

Although Debenham had booked a three-night stay, he was [b]rumbled[/b] after two nights by suspicious staff

(I can't recall the last time I heard anyone being 'rumbled' outside of Guy Ritchie's celluloid world)

And also: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-22907713

Describing the [b]smash[/b] on its Facebook page, Chiswick RNLI said:.....

Doesn't really sit with

There was superficial damage to gilded carvings on one side and a wooden crown on the stern was knocked overboard

Maybe I just need to back away from the keyboard.... ๐Ÿ˜†

First might well be from a court stringer or the PA, rather than a BBC staff reporter.

Send them an email about it though, they love getting them.

Radio One newsreaders
Are you twelve? No? Then what the flip are you doing listening to Radio 1?

Cheers,

๐Ÿ˜€ [i]"Radio 1 Newsbeat"[/i] is basically [i]"John Craven's Newsround"[/i] for the remedial kids.

The trouble is that most BBC news is now 'remedial'.
