On the news again

Once again, I must apologise for my lack of blogging, but I'll tell you the reasons for that soon. In the meantime I was watching the BBC evening news last week - the night it was reported that the proposed 2p increase on petrol duty was not going to happen.

You know they have this fixation on sending reporters to stand outside a place that has some relevance to the news item, even though it would make much more sense (especially in the winter or when it's tipping down with rain) to have them sitting in the studio. Well, true to form Nick Robinson was in a petrol station to report on the aforementioned item. And, what was he doing? Putting petrol into a white van! Nick Robinson, BBC's own white van man! Now we have a clue to his day job! Is it plumbing, plastering or just odd jobs around the house?
