Swear Ranking!
I met the editorial policy/legal people at the BBC and I asked them which swear words are they allowed to use? I was shown a ranked list of rudeness. It was every bit as entertaining as I had hoped, but to my disappointment, there was no possibility of removing this fabulous document from the room. I don’t like to paint too much of a melodramatic picture, but the offending piece of paper was physically removed from my hand (I think they had the idea that I would scan it, post it on my blog). Anyway, I mentioned this to someone from the BBC at a party recently; and she sent me a copy this morning. As you can see, I have indeed scanned it and posted it on my blog. # posted by masquerader @ 14:39 ::
