Although it looks very much like the grand total of 50p has been lavished on this ludicrously niche TV Channel(aimed I gather at 3 men and a highland terrier ensconced in a bothy somewhere North of Castelbay), is it the nichest of the niche? Or is there a Channel that transcends even BBC Alba in terms of minscule telly audiences(Channel 5 doesnt count).

I have a friend that is in the know. BBC Alba has caused a great deal of annoyance within the Beeb as it has been set up as a cap doffing exercise to the Scots Gaelic speakers and SNP. It has a tiny audience but is set up as proper channel with a big budget and its own bandwidth. Other (bigger) niche areas have to grovel for space on the other BBC channels.

I think you're confusing me with an Aussie...now you don't want to do that do you? :'(

exactly, we kiwis are far too refined to use bizarre slang such as flamin' galah, eskie and arvo.


Now I must find my jandals so I can pop down to the dairy to buy some mellow puffs and burger rings, and then call in at the bottle store to pick up some stubbies and a slab of DB for the chilly bin before heading to the bach.

    • What is it that makes Waitrose so special! Admittedly I have shopped a couple of times in the Orpington and Beckenham one - sometimes buying food which I cannot get else where. Their 'basic range' is not bad. Price for price and quality - M & S.
    • Sometimes a shed or other installation has to have written approval from the freeholder i.e. Southwark, Southwark has (or did have) a Leaseholder Association.   Could also come under Anti Social Behaviour Unit.
    • Love Dulwich is great but has a large step in front. We have only been weekdays at Lunch time. Maria's next to Picture House is disabled friendly. Also can reserve table in advance. We did a Sunday lunch catch up with family - there were 8 of us.
    • Hi, Thinking about  going with some friends and was just wondering if folk might like to report back please. Most importantly sound level when busy & is it disabled friendly.  Thinking on a Sunday lunchtime but don’t want a busy busy environment or loud chatter - a couple of friends could not cope. Time can be flexible, if that helps - say 2 ish to avoid above.. Thanks…
