Are you glad that you do not pay the BBC licence fee? Me too! The BBC has announced ‘massive’ cuts of six hundred million quid, and with three months to go, ’Seth Efricker’ is the place to be. Fabio, the six million dollar man, sorry, pound man, is taking a team of twenty three players plus backroom staff in the hope of winning the World Cup.
Meanwhile, the BBC, that bastion of spending taxpayers’ money wisely, is sending a team to cover the proceedings, comprising over one hundred and twenty staff, including presenters, commentators, former stars turned sofa slouching hasbeens, plus a production crew, which will cost an estimated two million quid in expenses. “And it’s Lawrenson, holding the midfield between the coffee table and the settee, with a sweet pass to Hansen, holding the line in the centre of the sofa, as he makes a seamless pass to Shearer making a run for the toilet at half time, and Lineker scores again! On or off the field, Gary?”
What a shame! Some staff will be forced to share an apartment, because secure, FIFA approved accommodation is in short supply; bless! From April 1st, the licence fee will cost one hundred and forty five quid and fifty ‘peas,’ and given that date, I assure you that it is no joke.
