ISSUE 4 ARCHIVE - EDITORIAL |
 |
A message from EdAn overheard conversation of what was an interview at the coffee shop opposite the LDC chamber:"So you've applied for the job as a van driver?" "Yes" Then ensued a 20 min brief of what the job entailed, ending in "...have you any endorsements on your licence?" "What licence, I don't have one?" "You mean to say you've applied for a van driver job and you can't drive?" "Err, yes" Both parties sat silently then parted company. And they call fish stupid. Personally I blame the BBC for this level of dumbing-down. Force feeding viewers on a diet of celebrity trash culture. All TV is crap I say. They can't even commission a nature programme without giving twee names to each of the animals. No wonder my idea – "Ant Colony Diaries" never got past the pilot episode. Oh well, perhaps "Beehive Brief" stands a better chance. But available now, is the cure for Dumb-down: Issue 4 of London Diver Magazine. Rob wrestles with THE QUESTION of our times, no not God, the other one. Dr Jules tackles Women in Diving in a mature non-sexist way. And you give us trip reports, photos and our first male Gimp. There's even a phone in competition where we get to keep all the charity cash. Now there's something the BBC does nicely. | |
