I have been puzzled with the outcry over the recipes. They are a nice thing to have but there are good alternatives as well (and it seems they are now going to transfer a lot to their Good Food site so maybe a victory for the petition). I am certain the BBC announced this to get a reaction so they can go to the government and say stop meddling with us.
My concern is this bit:
"Local news indexes for more than 40 geographical areas in England will also cease to exist.
But the BBC will continue to offer a rolling Local Live service. The BBC's Travel website is also facing the axe."
I think the rolling news is more a live update which I hate as it often doesn't work and it runs like a dog on my old PC. I am not sure what the "News Index" is but if it is local headlines that you can set on the BBC website, I will miss that a lot and think that should be the concentration of complaints. BBC Travel is also a very good site as well although there are alternatives (the AA or RAC for example).
