In a way I felt for Kay Burley and her Sky chums for being caught out in breach of the corona virus restrictions, but they`re supposed to be grown ups in responsible positions and should have known the risks involved in `celebrating` her birthday.   (Is she really 60 in a few days` time?)  Rumour has it that `junior production staff` might have been responsible for tipping off the press about the `celebrations` as revenge for Burley`s alleged imperious attitude towards more junior staff.

But then her six months suspension away from our screens inflicted by Sky, along with the three months suspensions  awarded to Sky Political Editor Beth Rigby and reporter Inzamam Rashid have at least provided time and space for some much needed reflection.   One benefit could well be that Ms. Rigby goes on an elocution course so as to get rid of her annoying habit of being unable or unwilling to pronounce `ng` properly.   Pedants like me will have noticed, for example, how habitually she doesn`t pronounce words like considering as `considering` but instead prefers `considerin.`   It just grates.

So now that this one `celebration` has resulted in suspensions away from our screens for some months, I`m tempted to organise another one and invite Naga Munchetty, Mrs. Brown, Michael McIntyre, Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher along.
