I don't wish to criticise TV and Radio programmes particularly.
Obviously, what is fascinating entertainment for some may be anathema for others. And I can see that pleasing the majority and boosting ratings is part of the task for the Beeb. I merely think as a general comment that nobody, whatever their talent or cash-generating ability, is worth a couple of million pounds a year.

One can only take some comfort in the fact that their Tax bills must be gigantic. "Bloody good an' orl!" as my lovely Norfolk neighbour would say.

My husband is taxed a small amount, as he earns just over the Personal Allowance. The young bin lad wouldn't be paying any on his deplorable pittance.
We always give him and his team as big a Christmas Box as we can manage, and some good ale, and I hand out iced cans of Coke when it's boiling hot.
