BBC overusing 'R'

Why has the BBC and other announcers gone 'R' crazy?

Withdrawral

Drawring book

Drawring pin

One even said that the snow was thawring

a bit like the affected way the newscasters pronounce foreign names, so PC over the top its untrue but what do we excpect from the Guardianista BBC??

And it may be me.

The morning weather lady saying Wednesday. She goes over the top to say the letter D. Wed...ens.. Day. I say it sort of like wenz - day. I decided to use the interweb and see how it should be said. Well one sites way

I can't hear a D in the way they say it on the link.

The BBC. Doesn't know its R's from its elbow.

What is a carstle? I know what a castle is?

Do these people say cart instead of cat?

:hihi:

It's not just me then?

It bugs me the way they say "shire". They can say it ok on its own (i.e. the shires), but if its a county, it becomes YorkSHEER or LancaSHEER.

And the lady newsreader who says doin instead of down and oit instead of out.

Same here but it's not just the BBC, it's all southerners in my experience.

Three other words mispronounced all the time are :

We're.............. pronounced as where.

Vegetables......... pronounced as vegtables.

Medicine........... pronounced as medcine.

Makes me cringe.

Didn't the BBC move to Salford? Mind you I don't suppose the BBC recruited from the locals. Cleaners and admin staff, perhaps. But newsreaders & executive level - doubt it.
