Dez? That you?
I wrote a posting in January slamming Dez Corkhill over his pronunciation of regional names and places. It's here.
I hadn't noticed a comment someone posted there until today.
The big question is, Dez? That you?
Well, it would be heartening to know that if Dez Corkhill did read what I wrote and left such a comment then I will gladly concede that Dez is a top bloke. I slammed him. Directly. I wouldn't blame him if he was offended and maybe left a nasty remark. But he didn't. It takes a big man for that.
Yes, more and more local presenters are making their mark but in my mind right now, there's only Asha. No one else at this time can really lead the line. Also, anyone else notice how it's almost necessary to be at least half white to make it on regional TV?
Cheers Dez. Whoever you are.
I take the comments on board Brain. I'll work on those pronunciations.
There are more and more local Presenters making their mark on International TV.
