I’m thoroughly ashamed of myself but.....

Who is Cathy Newman please?

Channel Four News presenter.

Who is Cathy Newman please?

????

Never heard of Kathy Newman ???

The lady in question.

The jumper in question

Oh, I missed that one! I see what you mean, suziewoozie

I have no idea who she is, either.

I’m amazed

Never heard of her but, having seen her photo, I really don't like her jumper!

How come you’re not watching C4 news? I’m genuinely surprised. What news do people watch?

Oh, that was on my tv this evening and I thought what a weird jumper it was.
My eyes are bad; it looked like a load of bacon and eggs to me.

We watch C4 news in the evening.

Why are you amazed that some people don't watch the same news channel as you?

Don’t watch any news, in fact I actively avoid it!!
Her researchers are probably checking us as we speak/write to see if the jumper did it’s job of bringing her to the publics attention ?!

BBC or ITV 10 o clock news unless I am walking Hattie.
Radio news, read newspapers - whatever.

I just thought people would watch a range - BBC, ITV, C4. However I now have to report that I’m in serious trouble with DH for being so shallow as to be affronted by CN’s jumper so as to post about it on GN. But honestly it’s been bubbling up for months. Don’t get me started on the blouses. Generally the dresses are just about acceptable.

I watch BBC because I can't stand the ads.

We hardly ever watch in real time so we can fast forward through the ads which mitigates it a bit

I like her hair though

I never watch the news nowadays. I get it all online.

SueD how do you get it online? I pick up news viaFB and Twitter and follow links to news stories on TV, radio and newspapers that way and also have the BBC app which I’ll click on for a quick update but I do like a daily round up I suppose with both news and views and some reflection on the day’s events. I suppose the latter is partly habit. During the day I listen to bits of R4 Today and WATO and also LBC ( at least with radio I don’t get distracted by the damn jumpers?)

I look at the BBC news website and newspaper websites. That's enough for me!
