Back on Feb 17, the London congestion charge figured heavily in the news. Watching the BBC 1
lunchtime news, the newsreader kept saying how it now costs £5 to drive into London. Not £5 to drive
into the charging zone - £5 to drive into *London*. Never let the facts get in the way of an
overblown story. So I wrote to the BBC, naming programme, date & time. Note - 17th February 2003,
BBC1 lunchtime news. I got a reply today - here it is
"Dear Ms Simmons
Thank you for your e-mail of 17 February 2003.
I am afraid our Unit is not able to investigate complaints about programmes which have not yet been
transmitted. When this programme has been shown, if you believe it may have infringed
generally-acceptable broadcasting standards please write to us again giving full details and we will
look into the matter.
Yours sincerely

Cheeky s*d. A definite Go away you are a delusional woman - we've not broadcast the programme - it

Needless to say I've sent a response to Mr Steel. I think he's a candidate for the paving slab
treatment ;-)
Cheers, helen s
