You see, that's one of those things which sparked this thread... who educates these people?
Answers on a postcard please.
They are all lakes irrespective of what they are called. Just like Lochs in Scotland are not named as lakes but they still are.......

Yes, but the point is, it's not called Lake Windermere... in much the same way that Snowdon, despite being a mountain, isn't called Mount Snowdon (as someone said on the radio yesterday).

You think the word 'loch' is entirely unrelated to the word 'lake'?

That probably used to be the case, but now its a case of people being hired under the flag of "diversity" rather than a person who is actually capable of doing the job they are hired for.
BBC will chase the trend because thats what gets them clicks with this current generation (and in this current environment) and they want to brag about how they are doing their part for the loud angry mobs that inhabit twitter.

it's quite likely to be a cost cutting exercise too.

Youre telling me that an establishment that can afford to pay one person absolute millions. Made £3.83billion in from TV licensing in 2017/18 (17% was government funding.) cant afford to or dont want to hire staff who have the skills or qualifications necessary for the job at hand?
Of course not, but obviously Lochs are better than mere lakes.
Yes it does. Loch Inchmahome😉
Anyway - turning back to the BBC and it’s journalistic standards.

"Romanian tourists swamp village loved by Prince Charles"
So the BBC are criticising Romanian tourists for daring to holiday in their own country!
That’s a Daily Mail headline...

Admittedly it's a bit of a nothing, filler story, but I see no criticism of Romanians for holidaying there.

The Beeb recently moved operations from London to Manchester. Things (like wages) are cheaper up north. They've been subject to similar austerity measures to the welfare state in recent years... they have to cut costs, so in a word (or three), they can't afford a lot of things.
