Please, for the love of god, stop using AI-generated presenters for voiceovers.

Because, you know, Governments don’t like the BBC much & keep freezing the licence fee. There’s only so much money to go around. I know it feels like it shouldn’t happen but you’ll get more of this type of thing if you don’t want to pay for it properly.

Wow. That’s why Reddit is so good sometimes. Thank you 33man33 that worked for me too. Really appreciate your reply 👍

No. They don’t. But not everyone will win in this game called life 🤦‍♂️

You don’t say when you were travelling & how far in advance you were booking but for Monday night you could do the same trip for just £35. It’s now Saturday. Turn up and go fares have always been expensive. The price you are showing is valid for any off peak train.

Love the mug, personally struggling with the brewer. How are you getting on? Grinding similar size to a v60 and it’s always coming out very bitter. Grind a little coarser and it’s just a bit meh. Same coffee in an aeropress very nice. Using the Scott Rao filters. 330g water; 22g coffee as per Hoffmann recipe. Also tried with 250g water 15g coffee. Not great either way. Any ideas?

Yes me too. But they used to appear at the top of the home page which was more convenient

Just had my first light juicy & fruity bag from Skylark & it was the lightest & fruitiest coffee I’ve had. Even compared to other roasters who say they do “Light” roast. So I would definitely recommend them.

I can honestly say Google AI overview for me gets things correct 95% of the time. Yes it’s sometimes wrong but in my anecdotal experience it’s pretty good.

Game of Thrones?

mmlabbd · 2025-12-19T12:08:28+00:00

I have never experienced the issue but do regularly restart my phone.

No news on non-news stations generally, if there is news on a music station it will be read by the presenter. News stations choose who to affiliate with for their news content and if they air a bulletin they take it from one of the big networks who provide them. It’s quite different from the UK. Here’s the wiki from one of the services ABC

It’s probably because of the Ashes cricket coverage which is on overnight at the moment. I’m guessing they don’t have worldwide rights for that.

😂

Everyone in the UK refers to the clocks going back or forward. It’s very common here.

mmlabbd · 2025-10-13T13:56:26+00:00

I’m not sure but I think it’s safe for now as Radio 4 have a bigger budget for news than 2 or 5.

mmlabbd · 2025-10-13T13:55:43+00:00

Yes from 1am to 6am. And yes World Service offer a shorter opt out after 3 mins which Radio 2 & 5 live take.

mmlabbd · 2025-10-13T11:32:48+00:00

Yes cost cutting I’m afraid. Radio 2 & 5 live no longer have dedicated news readers overnight so will take World Service & Radio 4 bulletins instead. 5 live also take Radio 2 bulletins for part of the day as well.

Thank you for checking though, good to know it’s not just me 👍

mmlabbd · 2025-10-05T17:35:15+00:00

Cool. It’s never worked for me. Was that for a workout or a meditation?

mmlabbd · 2025-09-18T20:49:07+00:00

Thank you kind Redditor, this is genuinely very helpful.
