Since when have the news presenters delivered the news standing up? And what is the purpose? Is it (a) to make viewers believe it is more important; (b) to make us believe the news casters are more important; or (c) to show how busy they all are?
Anyway, it distracts me.
If you meant, am I the crabby old lady – oh, yes, Freda. I can be quite crabby about a number of things. I look forward to the photo of your house. I have no patience for surburbia, but I believe I could be as happy in a rural setting as in a bit city.
