Last time a bought a Gruniad (in Scotland) it listed programmes for
some station called ITV1.

What - have they invaded again? I knew I should have watched CNN.

Seriously though Bill, they either had a mix up when setting it or the
bundles for Edinburgh got dropped off in Doncaster.

No, it was the usual London-centric ********. Nowt about up here at all.
If they dropped an H Bomb on Yorkshire it wouldn't make the Times.


I think it would be reported thus.

Small explosion in Yorkshire. Not many dead.

It would be
Very little home counties damage in Yorkshire H bomb incident.
Approx £5 damage.

Are you by any chance, on holiday in Scotland at this time? :-)

No, I thought of that. I looked out of the window and checked.

If you have satellite TV you can watch STV anyway and save buying a another
paper, although obviously I would recommend Granada TV to a Yorkshireman
(it's free in case you were worried).

The Times also lists programmes under the ITV1 heading but they are the
programmes for the local region, in my case UTV.

In the 1960s, the Sheffield Star had the headline "Foreign TV received
in Sheffield". Someone had found Anglia on Belmont B7V and written in
with the news. I think there was even a fuzzy off-screen picture to
prove it.

Also in the 1960s a man in Manchester got his first TV and became very
excited because he was picking all sorts of foreign stations. After
gentle questioning by sceptical friends it was explained to him that he
was receiving just the local stations but they were showing films and
recorded programmes made in various countries.

I thought all the national papers were printed relatively ( 50 miles) locally
these days ? However the same principle applies, the local printing press was
probably sent the wrong version.

Yes but the problem was that the some of the programmes must have been
local variations as they did not correspond with the programmes on
STV. There was some programme called 'The Bill' listed but it was not
shown.

It were good enough for any Yorkshire person for nigh on 12 years
(1956 - 1968).

"Small earthquake in Chile. Not many dead"

No precise matches but you expected that. There was, however,
Earthquake in Chile Nearly 200 deaths (3rd December 1928) which
compares with Big earthquake in Chile 10,000 reported dead (26th
January 1939) and then 149 dead in Chile earthquake (23rd May 1960)


Didn't the Times once have the headline
Sorm in the Channel: continent cut off?

No matches.
