BBC radio presenters = chefs de chit-chat

Memo to the BBC Radio 5 Live presenter Shelagh Fogarty – if you are going to attempt a comedy French accent, make sure your effort doesn't cause offence in translation . We only mention this after her 5 Live breakfast co-host, Nicky Campbell, wondered why countries going to the Commonwealth Games insisted on having "chefs de missions". "What's this 'chef de mission' all about?" said Campbell. "Why don't we say boss, head of? This is just random French." Fogarty asked him: "What would your job be in French? Chef de chit-chat? " Except the "chit" sounded like ... oh you get the idea. "Ooh, I meant chit-chat!" she said. "Thanks for the vote of confidence," offered Campbell. Chocking!
