Did Manchester Force Susanna Reid To Quit?
The BBC’s Breakfast program isn’t what it was since the ill-judged move to the back end of beyond in Manchester.
Now Susanna Reid is leaving To Go To ITV.
I do wonder what the line-up of presenters would be, if the program had stayed in its rightful place in the capital.
If you take today, there has been a couple of interviews with talking heads on important subjects like Ukraine, because obviously getting interviewees to waste time to go to Manchester isn’t possible.
Just think of the fuss if after independence, Scotland decided to put their flagship morning news in Glasgow!
Should Oyster Become A Bank?
This suggestion was put forward by the Social Market Foundation in a report yesterday.
Oyster is a trusted brand and it handles billions of transactions in a year, so expansion into a contactless bank, would probably be something that could work.
I also get better information from my Oyster card than I get from my debit or credit card. I can see my last journeys at most ticket machines in London, but can I find out the last five transactions on my debit card at a cash machine? I don’t think so!
So perhaps the other side of this suggestion, is should bank cards be more like Oyster?
