Digressing somewhat, but our dear departed "Do wah Diddy" would have given good value on this thread!
For one post. But then he'd have followed up with another dozen 1 or 2-sentence posts that went further and further off-topic under the impression that typing things in capitals made them ten times funnier. I enjoyed a good Do Wah post as much as the next forumite but let's not get carried away: he was no PG Wodehouse. |

newsreaders being handed a piece of paper usually by a female typist with a developing breaking story. the newsreader then read out to the viewers what was written on the note. also newsreaders used to interview people or speak to a foreign correspondent live on tv using a telephone which was always on display on the table in front of him or her in the case of angela rippon.
