LIKE your previous correspondents I agree that 'yoof' television is pretty dire.
My pet hate on television is documentaries where the commentary is almost drowned out by unnecessary and irrelevant background music.
Lately I have taken to putting the subtitles on the screen to ensure I do not miss anything.
This is irritating to me, but must be infuriating to anybody with impaired hearing.
This letter was written by Mike Usherwood (The Melancholy with the Crab-Apple Face), born in London (Maybe It's Because I'm a Londoner) but spent most of his life in Yorkshire (On Ilkla Moor Ba Tat) working for British Rail (Coronation Scot) now retired (Brahms Lullaby) and indulging in his hobbies of brewing beer (In Cellar Cool) researching Bomber Command in wartime (The Dambusters March) and occasionally flying light aircraft (Those Magnificent Men in their Flying Machines).
