All those kids that got yelled at for padding their word count are really having the last laugh writing all these recipe web pages
Every time I listen to BBC World Service radio I'm reminded how excellent it is. A comparatively balanced, nuanced, global perspective that we don't get to see much of from many other newsrooms.
