Tuesday's PM Newsletter

Hello,

Syria will be in the programme again tonight, as will Peter Hunt at the Leveson inquiry (@BBCPeterHunt). Plus - how corrupt is the UK?

We'll also hear from a woman who's planning to use tomorrow's Leap Day to try to end a long running feud.

And that's exactly what I'll be doing tomorrow. Robert Peston and I will finally put our long running feud behind us, as I invite him to co-present PM with me for the whole hour.

Yes, really.

Finally, after yesterday's spelling fiasco, I am hardly in a position to criticise but....we got this email today from a listener lambasting me for the way I say a word.

"It would be nice if your presenter,Mr.Meyer, used the 29th February, to pronounce the word RECORD corectly. The last syllable rhymes with 'cord' NOT 'herd'
The increased use of glottal stops by BBC announcers and presenters is a far cry from the precise English used in days gone by,. It is about timne the BBc started to set a good example.."

I will work on not speaking like a Scot if the listener in question doesn't write like a clot.

See you at five,

Eric
