Bbc Alba, Gaelic And Afc

No worries.

 

Or as they say in the Western Isles: "No worries".

No worries.

My western isles cousins all use daft expressions like "man alive!"

 

Which is just odd.

 

But each to their own I say.

Thanks for all did they survey - it will be open for another few days if anyone else wants to do it. Everyone's entitled to their opinion. I don't want to get too deep into a dispute about the worth of Gaelic or the merits of spending money on it, but I'd like to put one thing into a bit of perspective:

 

A number of well known Scottish newspapers often present BBC ALBA as some kind of gravy train, when it actually runs on a shoe string. Currently BBC ALBA receives a total annual funding of £10 million from the BBC - this represents 0.02% of the overall BBC budget of £5billion. Jonathon Ross's last contract of £16.9million could have funded the whole channel for a year and you'd still have a few million quid left over at the end!

I'd rather pay Wossy £26.9 million and not have adverts.

Thanks all who've done the survey. Going to close it down in the next couple days if there's anyone else who'd like to do before I do.

 

Many thanks,

I stopped doing the survey, as you cant answer "none / never" in some cases.

 

BBC Alba is a complete piss take. It mocks Scottish license payers - paying for broadcasts you cannot understand. You could barely fill a football stadium with the amount of people who speak Gaelic. I would never dream of watching the channel.

 

We are lucky to speak English, the most beautiful and flexible language in the world. No need for Gaelic, a crude island dialect.

A dialect? Seems you're not very educated. The 'Scots' language is a dialect which is, basically, English with a few 'Scots words thrown in. Anyone who speaks English can follow something written in 'Scots', whereas Gaelic, being a language could not be followed unless you spoke it. Of course, the 'Clydeside' part of your name says it all.
