Anyone else find the insincere "thank you" at the end of nearly every BBC programme grating?
Who is thanking who? Why? I don't get a choice, and while I am happy to pay the TV licence, I am getting less so every time this thanks but no thanks line is aired.
It's like every time they say "It's your BBC" if it truly was I'd be able to access the entire library of classic radio and TV. If it was my BBC you wouldn't demand I sign in every time I try to visit one of your websites.
BBC. Stop it.
Ordinary Wax.
