Last night I switched on the box to see what the Golden Wonder had to say - and found myself agreeing with the need for lockdown - should have done it at the beginning of the year. However after the announcement, I thought it had gone straight into a spoof type of comedy programme trailer. It comprised of a dog-grooming (is that legal?
) competition where people seemed to be giving dogs the most ridiculous haircuts. It was not even a documentary on how some people treat their dogs. The Great British Dog Groom - or- Strictly Come Dog Grooming type of programme which is going to last for several weeks. I know that I can - and will- switch off the box, but it got me to thinking whether the world has gone daft
or is it just me that is out of step? I am not a dog lover, but if I were, I would think that this type of thing borders on cruelty to animals. Maybe I could suggest to the Beeb - "The Great British Morgan Nipple Grease". No doubt there will now be a barrage of posts from professional dog-groomers up in arms.
