I guess everyone sometimes needs a new hobby, it seems you've found yours 
oh, and no, I'm not trying to be horrible to you . . . you'd know if I was  |
What's so bad about starting a few topics about old channels and television nostalgia and I don't understand why it would cause you to make what I consdier to be unkind comments.

To the poll I responded “don’t care” - I actually think it’s a terrible idea but I just can’t get up the enthusiasm to be opinionated about it. Holyrood is an irrelevant, ultra-woke echo chamber most of the time and it has been known to go many months at a stretch without passing any primary legislation at all, except for the finance bill. Whatever it generates that might be of interest is already carried, sometimes live, on the main BBC Parliament channel and is adequately summarised on the evening news, especially on the BBC Scotland news programme, “The Nine”, which nobody in fact watches and should therefore give you some clue as to whether BBC Parliament Scotland would be a wise investment of licence fee payers’ money.

I've no idea d to whether I am straying into what you call "Mrediaboy territory" but I appreciate you saying that my topic discussions are not a bad thing. I just don't understand why it caused someone to be sarchastic, bordering on unkind.

Probably more than you think.
I remember reading what during the major Brexit debates in Parliament, viewership of BBC Parliament was considerably higher than normal. There is an interest in what is said in our Parliaments and what is said and decided in Parliament affects all of our lives.
