Right, so I take two days holiday from work to finish decorating my living room, right? And I've got Pick of the Week on the radio (Radio 4) but my son says "You've got to watch this mum, it's totally hilarious"
So I turn off the wireless (!!) and watch these two strange, orange-coloured, half-dressed creatures (one female, one male) from a place called Essex talking to each other. So she's like "I fink the capital of India is Pakistan yea"? And he's like "No it's Persia innit?" and she goes "Is that a place? Nah, the capital (cap'i'aw) of India is Pakistan innit? Innit??"
Well, it was enough to send me back to work in horror.
The real horror is, I actually come from Essex - well , sort of, it's London, but it used to be Essex until it became a London borough in 1965. It's where east London meets Essex. is this programme for real? Are these real people? Is TV proud to be displaying such ignorance??
