Not the 'subbies' you can select yourself, these 'subbies' came with the newsreel.
I have no interest in football at all, and the only Jack Warner I knew was Dixon Of Dock Green.
The latest FIFA news came on the BBC this morning, and I noticed that Jack Warner is an african.
Isn't using subbies racist.
I understood every word he said, because I got used to their accent in London.
The luvvies want them in the UK, so they also must have understood what he said.
So who were the subtitles assisting?

off at a tangent but re the BBC, I've noticed recently that the BBC when talking about Germans in WW2 call them Nazis. eg a Nazi unexploded bomb or "he fought the nazis during the war."
So we weren't fighting Germany, we were fighting Naziland. |

Is 'luvvies' some sort of cockney slang? I've asked about it before, but the only definition I can find is for slightly 'camp' male actors.
I can understand why they ('subbies') would be helpful to many people. They even use them for programmes like 'Benefits Street'...and damned useful they are, too!  |

yeah I always thought they should've been put up when Alex Ferguson was talking on the box.

if you watch bollocks like Benefits Street, you need all the help you can get.  You woold appear to be a supporter of immigration, to that end, perhaps you should be able to understand them when they're speaking English. I can. The fault must lie between your lug'oles and your brain. |

I agree with H.H.
Subtitles are required when the speaker is Scottish and especially so for Glaswegians. Can't understand a word they say. |

SaGC. I tend to watch what I think might be interesting. I am unsure as to why I was tuned in to channel 5 at that time, but there will be a reason. Anyway, I must say that without the addition of translation in certain areas, I would have been unable to comprehend WHAT the two 'leading' females were saying.
Obviously, my hearing is not as good or well-tuned as yours because you seem to have had no problem in understanding them. Unfortunately, I struggled. You then say that I appear to support immigration and as such I should be able to understand them. I have no idea why you should say that but it isn't really relevant, anyway. All of the people that I saw seemed to have lived in Stockton-on-Tees for all of their lives. I do wish you could resist the urge to have little personal 'digs' at people. You would be a much nicer person. |

I'm virtually deaf in one ear, but seldom wear my hearing aid.
I have worked with irish, glaswegians, scots from the highlands, mancunians, scousers, geordies, chinese, japanese, spaniards, portuguese, italians, french, dutch, greeks, turks, africans and asians. I have understood every word they said when they were speaking English. |
