We aren't seeing much about how that organisation managed to facilitate yet another person of extremely questionable morals and character, again, this time for 17 years, are we....
On Friday morning I was so pissed off regarding seeing Gregg Wallace's face all over the news channels (and the reasons why) I switched over to BBC2 (Villages by the Sea) about coastal caves on Runswick Bay in N.Yorkshire which just happened to be in an area depicted on the map as "Randy Bell End".
I wonder if the insulation from evolving norms afforded by being a celebrity, and in particular within the BBC, featherbedded by the enforced licence fee; means behaviours don't change. People don't change what they are doing unless they have to - that's why NHS still use faxes and letters.
A very imprudent response from GW - there were plenty of other ways of addressing the latest. Without trivialising the whole storm, I'm bugged being distracted watching the current series (there are some great contestants...)
Men of a ‘certain age’ thought it ok to brush a boob here, tap a bottom there or insert innuendo into situations, considered by many (men) to be the highest form of flattery for women. I recall hearing an over loud conversation of two men ‘of a certain age’ behind me debating “if they would”. Ewww
The weird thing is usually when you get creeps at the Beeb, people put up with it because they’re seen as irreplaceable National Treasure type figures, but nobody could mistake Gregg Wallace for one of those.
I watched this video in response and realised the "OH" sound is very flexible - many meanings: anger, surprise, enthusiasm, happiness, to say hello, "congrats for getting out of prison", "that's a big envelope", "oh my you killed him" etc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sRkE_Gv6ALM

I guess being “rapey” is just a difference now?
