![]() Wednesday, March 26, 2003Breakfast televisionI learned today that C-SPAN is currently airing BBC 1's morning news show "Breakfast" live, which means it's on from 10:00 P.M. to 1:00 A.M. here in the Pacific time zone. I watched the first hour of tomorrow morning's show tonight (yes, I know that sounds weird, but it's true), and it was very interesting, partly because BBC does a very good job of covering news, and partly because C-SPAN's feed is technically from BBC London and includes the local newsbreaks. First of all, I have no idea how warm it's going to be in London because I have trouble with Celsius-to-Fahrenheit conversion, unless the temperature in degrees C is either -40, 0, 100, or 27 (which equals 80 degrees F, a fact I have memorized for some reason). Second of all, I have no idea where the traffic jams are because they didn't show a map of the roads in the London area, just traffic camera views. On the other hand, I did know exactly what they meant when they said the Circle Line wasn't running anticlockwise. ![]() |
