Transcript

What BBN said on air in this cut. Comedy, with fictional anchors.

1. 

   Hank LedgerScotland's household recycling rate fell to forty-two point eight percent last year, down from forty-four point three, its lowest in five years, the BBC reports.

2. 

   Hank LedgerThe target was seventy percent, set back in twenty ten. Vera, your take.

3. 

   Vera BullockHot take: this is a triumph of transparency. Scotland didn't miss its target by twenty-seven points, it exceeded its own expectations of itself.

4. 

   Hank LedgerNOT. You can't exceed a number by being under it.

5. 

   Dale BearmanHot take: the bottle return scheme is delayed to twenty twenty-eight, so every bottle in Scotland is now technically a long-term tenant.

6. 

   Hank LedgerHOT. They do pay no rent.

7. 

   Vera BullockWhy is mine NOT and his is HOT? I was thorough. Glasgow recycled twenty-six percent while South Ayrshire did fifty-five. That's range.

8. 

   Hank LedgerBecause you called a miss a triumph, and he called a delay a tenancy. One of you lied less.
