“Yes. It’s incredible the number of emails the newsroom has been attacking everyone about my appearance when I was presenting the weather forecast,” said a third.
“I love you Narelda! They can go to Hades. Wouldn’t it be great to find out where they are doing and send them feedback from across the company?” commented a fourth.
