[weecalf]

Do I have to spell,it out ?

[hc4361]

Not everybody watches Strictly, weecalf. A link is always helpful

[mccfluff]

yes

[Islay]

I would imagine that this was sorted out at the contract stage.
So non story really

[maggiebee]

Yes weecalf, you do have to spell it out. Thanks to hc4361's link I now know who you are talking about. However, I've never watched Strictly in my puff so for me it's a non story - who cares?

[ethandron]

Known in advance.
Read the article.

Of course, Bruno and all the judges aren't employed by the Beeb in the same way that you are, x amount of hours a week for 52 weeks a year with x amount of paid leave.

"Do I have to spell it out?"....Yes, preferably with the correct spelling, too"

[hereIam]

I'm a big Strictly fan, but I had no idea what you were on about.

[Guilbert53]

You could have been talking about ex boxer Frank Bruno

I thought you were talking about a person called Bruno, who you work with, and who phoned up the boss to say he was too busy to work. I thought the showbiz reference was to his great acting performance during his call.

[Tilly2]

There's Bruno Mars.

[hc4361]

My first thought was Bruno Mars

[Tilly2]

...and St Bruno.
