Regional accents- the last straw.

Got to agree about the Tom Service led nonsense over the weekend 'residency' in a 'pop-up studio'.
Yes, both terms used to trail it all ENDLESSLY.
And just apparently inchoate bits of music slapped together betwen talk that made it sound uncomfortably like one of those April Fools Day gags R3 used to do.

Unless I misunderstand, you do care about the accents.

The terms Hochdeutsch and Plattdeutsch are I think strictly geographhical in origin (gurnemanz will know) though I'm told the first has been commandeered by the linguistic snobs to mean something like Beefy's high English.

Very "Telegraph" to concentrate on the 'accents' point (which was mentioned in the final paragraph of the story but has rather more coverage here).
On reviews (and possibly general arts coverage?) the Telegraph may have a better reputation than the Guardian; but on this occasion the Guardian coverage is serious (like much of the proposed new programming), the Telegraph is lightweight.Last edited by french frank; 02-10-15, 09:56.It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.
