Sir, - What is RTE about? A few nights ago, one of the new weather presenters, a blonde girl, addressed us with "Gidd Evening" and went on to tell us that the "clyde" would break up later. She reminded me of the girls on the AA Roadwatch reports, with their artificial "Dortspeak".
We want the beauteous Jean, Evelyn and Joan back, not forgetting the charming Gerald, with their normal, nicely-rounded vowels, and their cheerful, natural charisma. It was a most retrograde step to take them off our screens. - Yours, etc.,
Vera Hughes, Moate, Co Westmeath.
