Funny organisation, the BBC. It uses the term traditional cooking, traditional Christmas carols, traditional architecture, traditional stories and traditional family customs(i have heard all of these phrases used today). And in every case they were used in exactly the way anyway would use them. Except of course John leonard, who unaccountably uses traditional to mean "recently made".
Pray God he doesnt get put in charge of those programmes where they decided about which gems of our architectural heritage are to be saved. They'd be be concentrating resources on the giant Sainsbury's storage depot shed down the road. It's certainly traditional, it's got walls,roof and doors.
