Title: BBC fritter away our money
Post by: Just One More on March 24, 2009, 05:46:54 AM
I know, it's hardly the most revealing fact

Last week a guy on one of the forums I use was asked by the BBC to appear on a live programme the following evening. He said he was tired and didn't want to appear as the 120 mile would knacker him (a two hour drive!). "That's alright, we'll get a taxi to pick you up and we'll put you up in a nearby travel lodge". 120 miles in a taxi!

Folllowing the show, he travelled back on the train. I didn't see the show, but christ knows how much his few minutes of fame cost us  cussing:

He's a campaigner for legalising cannabis. Makes me wonder how much they were paying for Swampy etc now. And if they get that sort of treatment, how much do other better known people get paid, and what perks do they get

Disclaimer - the site that I was using that he posted on has nothing to do with drugs
