Yes I think you are right about that Janeainsworth, it makes me want to go somewhere else , that isn’t ‘mine’

Yes I thought that Annibach, but they use to say
Here is The News for your area etc,

Yes it’s annoying.
I think it’s a ploy to stir up faux loyalty to the organisation.
Like all that ‘Your M&S’ from Marks & Spencer.
No! I don’t want a Marks and Spencer!
To paraphrase Virginia Ironside.

The news is the main countrywide news, your news is news for different parts of the U.K.

I dislike the new trend for Newsreaders using the term Your instead of The, ie

‘ Now it’s time for your weather, your local news etc’

What happened to The weather, The local news,
The topic , etc
Why does it even bother me ? Perhaps I should ‘Own it’
Am I the ‘only one’ ?
