BBC NEWS
Sir,-To-day at 1.15 p.m. the anmouncer at 2YA announced that the news from London received at 8.45 a.m. would be re-broadcast. Might I suggest that, in a case like this where there is an interval of 412 hours, there is plenty of time for the London news to be put into understandable English and given out by the 2YA announcer. It is difficult at this time of year with so much atmospheric adverse conditions to make out what the BBC announcer is saying. At any time the BBC announcers are far from reaching the clarity of diction attained by either Australia, Germany or Rome. Their voices give one the impression that they are not strong enough to speak clearly so they shout, or rather, bark with
lamentable effect.-
