    Just sat there watching RTE News, some B roll of a Bus comes up in relation to the bus strike. He approaches a pedestrian crossing with someone stood at it, the light is amber with plenty of time for him to stop and turns red before he reaches the crossing, you guessed it he sails on through.

    You gotta love it when the national broadcaster sees absolutely nothing wrong with a professional driver potentially mowing down people on a pedestrian crossing and just nonchalantly broadcasts what should be a fairly serious matter for a PSV driver on B roll.

    Okay I might be a sit sore about the recent 80 quid and three points...

    No as B roll is not stock footage, B roll can be stock footage though. I assumed you didn't know what B roll was.

    I'm sorry if you didn't find me going to the trouble of finding a definition of B roll and linking to you satisfactory or indeed thought I was being rude. I was simply trying to avoid a back and forth on the finer points of broadcast terminology.

    It's stock footage, why not just use the term that everyone knowns and so derail your own thread, we'll done.

    I asked because, it's old footage, what do you want an investigation launched??

    B-Roll may or may not be stock footage, hence the link. They may or may not have had someone on that road today filming it. Hence why I used the term 'B-roll', a term that is fairly well known, when I meant 'B-roll' and not stock footage. For the avoidance of doubt if I'd meant 'stock footage' I'd have said 'stock footage'.

    I hate this emoticon thing but it's very appropriate here :rolleyes:
