Subject: RE: PEL: Howells on BBCR1 TONIGHT!
With respect the bag pipe mis-quote is not what I am refering to. This is supposed to be a transcript of what was asked and answered.

This printable version misses out whole questions and answers. Some of the answers that are missing are very interesting ones, for they were wrong answers.

Howells actually and very clearly said: That's two and a half thousand pounds please. Not (could be) £2,500.

Where is any mention of the Q and A on 'paying performances'?

Two decks are OK are they? Where is there even any mention in the transcript of the qustion about Norman Cook's decks?

Or of the answer?

Or of the word 'ploy'. Or of the astonishing concept of 'people just suddenly playing a gig together'? The word 'spontaneous' is again mentioned and now advertising, not words I see in the Bill. Or indeed now in the printable transcript.

Where is Johnnie Gee's entire and very serious question?

And where is the wrong answer? It is OK to sing outside Buckingham Palace without a licence, is it? We know where to hold all future demos then.

The MU were mentioned twice and Hamish Birchall by name but the TV question is not attributed to them.

The good Dr's very own invention the 'whistling postman' appears and then vanishes.

Where is the last comment? Again the MU were specifically mentioned, but not in this transcript.......?

I accept that am not the best audio typist in the world, although I have had a lot of practice recently, but the show can still be listened to. See if you can make the printable transcript fit what you hear being said.
