Stay Away Stars Back BBC Strike

By Alan Jones, PA Industrial Correspondent

A number of high profile BBC employees backed the strike by staying away from work, giving a big boost to the thousands of union members who walked out today.

Top presenters including Dermot Murnaghan, Natasha Kaplinksi and Fiona Bruce from BBC 1, John Humphrys from Radio 4, Jeremy Paxman from BBC 2�s Newsnight and Nicky Campbell from Radio 5 Live stayed away from work

I turned on "Breakfast" today and it had some repeat of an inverview playing on BBC1 and News24. Really weird alround, thought I'd got the time wrong and stuff. And big style fuck ups live on air too, very un-BBC

And another one for next Tuesday too....

Dervish,

I'm going to Scotland in November for a wedding. Should I even bother to bring my clubs?

For golf? Dunno depends how hardy you are plus the weather can be really weird... even sunny sometimes.

I would think it would be playable at some point (I've never played so I dunno...). Where are you going?

Edinburgh. I've never been. Only been to London in March. I hear it will be cold and dark, 2 adjectives that do not describe ideal golfing conditions.

btw, I didn't mean to hijack this thread. For some reason I thought I was posting in the PDD/COR thread.

I dunno it'll probebly be coldish (tho you can't tell here could be really sunny) but probebly dark late/early = short days.
