Greg Dyke says, when he was Director General, he "insisted on eating in the canteen with the staff instead of formal lunches or dinners" because he "wanted to talk directly to the people who worked for the BBC, not just the local bosses". He got sandwiches or salad from the canteen and talked to the people he met in the queue.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2727871367480602637.post-6038718118854686472012-09-28T02:00:58.877+01:002012-09-28T02:00:58.877+01:00Why is this news now?

Here is the quote from page 208:<br /><br />"Like all big organisations the BBC was inbred, which made changing its culture even more difficult. BBC people tended to live their lives with other BBC people. They were their friends, their lovers, their husbands and wives. Even when they got divorced it was often to go off with or marry someone else from the BBC."<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2727871367480602637.post-40683839184969557902012-09-27T22:56:40.524+01:002012-09-27T22:56:40.524+01:00One would like to think so, wouldn't one.

It originally went "Woman first to give birth in Whatwasitsname Hospital". I e-mailed them asking -could it have been a man?- and in a few hours the headline was changed to something less XXII century. Very satisfactory.
