Kirsty has absolutely loads of qualifications and experience for doing the show, thing is you don't always get them skills along with presenting skills. I find nick bailey has managed both
Why do they keep teasing us with the community garden project which they are helping with but we never see?
I wondered that, nothings changed, it always looks the same?
It's not just me then. I did have another thought, they keep saying, if you have a project, get in touch. Pre Covid, they did do a lot of community projects, I think that's been a big part of the programme in the past. Maybe they want to get it restarted .
I agree totally @Obelixx. It's why we, in the west, often poke fun at the Morningside accent [Edinburgh] as it's rather posh. Many folk in the Borders sound more 'English' than Scottish too. A very odd post altogether
My mother told a story about using the term "the five bob side" as a young girl, when referring to Morningside, thinking it just meant they were rich. Her mother was horrified and told her never to use the term again. It was only some years later she discovered it was actually referring to the cost of "working girls". As you might guess, this was many, many years ago.
Your ridiculous post about only Scottish sounding people to be allowed to present on Beechgrove deserved a bit of pushback. Nationalism maybe the flavour of the month, but it really doesn't matter where the presenters are from or what they sound like if they do the job they were hired to do.
Where they are from doesn't matter to me but the accent does. There are a couple of accents which grate on me so much I can't listen to anybody speaking on TV with that accent. Unfortunately, since the BBC moved 'up North', they seem to be on everything!
I do find the whole fairy garden thing a bit odd but I also have a friend in Bristol who does that sort of thing so it's clearly a case of each to their own. Some of the things she does with house plant displays are odd too but if you don't have a garden I suppose house plants have to be a creative outlet.
I appreciate that it can be difficult to fill the time with the constraints of the pandemic, but at times it seems more like Blue Peter, or the Generation Game, than a gardening programme. I remember half of one episode being take up by the presenters trying to make wreaths.

The cooking segment was diabolical.
