Sir,-I listen daily to the BBC news from London. The cultivated voices of the announcers make a welcome change to the slovenly way some New Zealanders speak. Atmospherics certainly make listening hard at times, but rarely does the announcer stammer or_mispronounce. Perhaps the manner of speech is a little above Keith Mitchell. I "suggest he listens to the ZBs. Incidentally, I have heard the news from Wellington at 9.0 p.m. gabbled in such an uninteresting manner that I have switched to another
programme.
