It's intensely annoying. It's the forced mood of national mourning by scheduling exactly the same content on BBC1 and 2 and shutting down BBC4 that I found so annoying. Fine, BBC1 should be given over to Prince Philip Broadcasting (because he was at least a Major Royal and, as much as I may dislike it, the Royal Family is constitutionally important), but there's no need to take the view that no one should be allowed to watch anything else.

I can't believe the government has apparently just forgotten about the return to university decision. We go back next week - even if they announce it today we can't do it in time now, and then there'll only be 2 weeks left of teaching so hardly worth it.
