…More BBC stuff this morning.
On Thursday I’d got a catalogue of BBC clothes, pens, badges etc.
of which I’ve ordered things.
Today I got a catalogue of wallcharts and a timetable.
This afternoon we went to Birmingham Airport to look round.
We saw a man off Central TV…
Of the BBC-branded merchandise that I ordered and ultimately received, the only ones I can remember (and this is embarrassment enough) are car window stickers displaying the logos of the Six and the Nine O’clock News.
I stuck them – proudly – on the car window by which I always sat. And they stayed there for months.
Dear God, what had I become?
Twenty-five years ago today 
The Six O’Clock News hasn’t been the same since they stopped ending the programmes with important quotes for the day. Example:
That has been the Six O’Clock News on the day letters seemed to indicate News International have staged a massive cover-up of the scale of phone hacking at the company. MP Tom Watson said “I take what the company say with a pinch of salt now. They’ve hired a lot of PR people to handle their media. “
Think yourself lucky. Stickers were strictly infra dig in our car. We weren’t even allowed to have ‘I’ve seen the lions of Longleat’.
I think the stickers might have stayed on the car for over a year, as I remember being quizzed about them by my new classmates soon after starting secondary school in August 1987. “Does your dad work for the BBC then?” they asked. If only.
