How this programme can wind me up. Did anyone else hear the piece about teenage bedrooms yesterday ?
"Alison Baverstock, co-author of, Whatever!:A Down-to-earth Guide to Parenting Teenagers, and journalist Flic Everett, join Jenni to debate the pros and cons of the teenage retreat."
Only WH could choose two such women. One with 'someone who comes in to help'..so the children 'only have to pick things up off the floor and put them on their beds'
...and the other whose stepdaughter lives in 'the basement flat of our house with a bedroom and sitting room'
dear me. I wish they'd have people who live like the majority of us.

How this programme can wind me up. Did anyone else hear the piece about teenage bedrooms yesterday ? My sentiments exactly Rosalie and another programme that Jenny Abramsky should examine and ask why listeners from all over the country have to put up with southern tosh such as this! Why is the programme dominated by producers/editors and presenters from the south? Oh yes, we do all have servants tidying the bedrooms. Jenni Murray – who makes regular references to her own working class background - didn’t bat an eyelid at the reference to the cleaner. One of the most insulting pieces of radio I heard this year was on WH and it concerned the alleged moaning of men when suffering from a heavy cold and referring to it as flu. Insult was added to injury when they repeated this item on POTW. I haven’t taken one day off ill in my whole adult working life and have often struggled into work when feeling very unwell and have never mentioned it. My work colleagues are exactly the same. It speaks volumes about the WH husbands/partners. I’m at a loss to understand why the women associated with this programme actually get married or take partners if they possess such a strong loathing of men. Incidentally, I don’t know if you listened to the serial: ‘ Confessions of A Bad Mother’, but this was another load of old upper-middle-class twaddle. |

I actually wondered if any of the kids in the feature ever go to a library or find any free time to do their homework. |

I think we should build a wall somewhere north of Biggleswade, so all these whinging northerners can huddle behind it, away from the attacking hordes of well-spoken southerners... Watching Coronation Street south of the wall should be a capital crime, and whippest wearing flat caps would be shot on sight.
