Madam, - One of the more dispiriting aspects of the German election is that we shall have to continue to endure radio announcers and presenters mangling Gerhard Schröder's surname. It was quite amazing to see and hear two of RT's chief European correspondents actually standing in the centre of Berlin, talking about Mr "Shroader".
Have they not ears? Do they not listen to the Germans around them? Will someone please tell them that Schröder rhymes with murder? - Yours, etc,
