Would be the typical response from the left. They just don't understand economics or value for money. How many newsreaders are there in Britain today? How many people would like to be newsreaders? How many would snap your hand off for say £100k? After all that is great money. So why are we paying one £550k? Now consider the same exercise for DJ's, sports presenters etc etc. So the market is not what the BBC is paying. In fact the BBC is probably inflating the market by paying these extortionate rates.
Just think. If the BBC had been a little more sensible with your money they might have been able to keep your beloved Bake Off.

I don't know about you but I think a Cabinet Minister's job in a little more important, unless football really is more important than life and death.

I do object to the BBC paying staff through their 'company' to ensure tax avoidance and reduce transparency.
I also think it's a bit rich that taxpayers cash is used to pay for the foreign service.
Most of these 'presenting' personalities are overpaid whereas the researchers are on meagre salaries held down by the unpaid interns from weathly parents hoping for a media post. Many of these parents themselves with snouts deeply burden in the BBC pigs trough.
Root and branch overhaul required.

I know and I didn't use a smiley to warn you either. What chance did you have?

Come on, you should know by now there's no place for humour or satire in the modern golf forum.

Great knowledge there about the BBC inflating the market by paying the extortionate rates. http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entr...b0a03aba868b4f
And thanks for the twice randomly mentioning me liking Bake Off in this thread, I find it endearing that you remember, if a little creepy to be honest (do you keep a list of forumers likes and dislikes, favourite bands, what car they drive,??). I had got over it but you have brought it all back now so I'll have to pay for more therapy. Why did it go, why no Mel and Sue, life is so unfair....

But how will we attract young smartarses into the game?

To be good at debating you need to have a good memory and at the time you seemed so upset I actually felt sorry for you.

To be fair it would have been the opinion of a lunatic, but that's not unusual on here.

Not that I am keeping notes 😀 But you do seem to have a problem with people who play golf. It does make me wonder why you play.
Maybe you should mention that to your therapist.

What! Even old ones? Jeremy wouldn't approve of you hanging around with Golfers, you should be hanging with other middle class Trots down the jazz Club.
