Well, I know we live in cynical times, so I didn't simply dismiss the suggestion of a bit of income generation, re. BBC local radio, texting v email comments. Seems though that the text number is a regular BT number, not a 0870 or premium rate number. In any case, and I'll say it again for the record, after I'd emailed BBC WM the first time commenting they didn't give out an email address, they started doing so almost immediately. So, I think its more cock-up than conspiracy here.
