In the Summer of '04/05, about 12, maybe 14 times, to my knowledge, ABC Radio National broadcast a long speech by Thomas King. In it, he told a yarn with the punchline "It's turtles all the way down".
On asking ABC Media Watch if they thought 12 times in a few weeks was reasonable, they told me I "should get a TV" and take it up with RN, who told me that "listener demand" is what determines programming.
Kath Albury (Deep End, today) ... please, will you please say "got" and not "gotten"? "Gotten" is one of those antique English inflections that just doesn't work outside the USA.

Sorry Pip - I am from the US - the accent is gone, but the americanisms remain.
Thanks for listening though.
cheers, Kath
All is forgiven, Kath. And thanks for being a good sport.
