Yup, for the hacks at the beeb, England = London, basically. My eldest brother was trying to break into journalism down there, before he got sick of other journos and became a press officer instead. They are all lazy cunts who either can't or won't see any further than their own doorsteps, according to him.

I did some work experience at the BBC on Five Live at Easter, and to be fair on the show I was working on, they were continually trying to get away from reporting news from London... sure it isn't the same across the corporation though.
The BBC are moving a lot of their output up to Salford in two years, which e'll probably help as well.. but yeah.. I've got a journalism degree now (GUFFAW!) and the majority of journos are cunts.
