The Kintyre Forum

Is anyone else on this Forum as annoyed as I am about people on television cookery programmes talking and chewing food at the same time.Mrs.LRR and our two male mini-land rovers have always been taught that you finish whatever you are chewing and then speak.There are also incidences on BBC Radio 2,Terry Wogan,and,although I stopped listening some while ago,that lump of human detritis Moyles and his band of sycophants do it on Radio 1.

LR, I agree that it is really rude but sorry, nothing annoys me more about these cookery programmes than the swearing and foul language. Even Jamie Oliver, usually someone my kids could watch, is in on the act now! My daughter wants to watch these programmes - she is really in to cooking at the moment but I can't let her see them. The language is disgusting and I don't give a toss the shows are on after the watershed. I wish they would stop it, I hate it!!!!!!

Total agreement on that point as well!

I think Jamie's 'Ministry of Food' programme is a great idea. We need to do something about this country's eating habits and often, it's a case of simple basics. Jamie's got this right but I rather suspect that because he's working in a very working class town in Yorkshire, he feels he's got to swear like that to 'be one of them'. How patronising and condescending is that?
