PET AVERSICNS
Sir,.-With winter approaching might I suggest a "Pet Aversion" competition for listeners. I can nominate three items to start off. (1) Women who sing men’s songs. Instance, Gracie Fiel howling "Gimme a Girl in My Yarms." Cannot women distinguish the difference between equality and imitation? (2) ZB programme titles that have no relation to the contents. Instance, 2ZA’s"Monarchs of Mime and Melody." How is mime put over without television? (3) BBC programmes that are years old. Instance, ITMA, recorded in 1946, and
another programme recorded during the last war, both heard from 2YC this week. Surely it shouldn’t take years for these records to reach New Zealand, I could nominate other aversions, but those three stand out in front.
