Curtice and Calder: the media's automatic go-to on elections and travel.

The two should get together for a podcast interviewing TV default gobshites: McTernan, Blunkett, Tominey, Campbell, Varoufakis, Hazarika, Moran and any Johnson you can name!

Call it 'Poll to Pole'.

“Trouble in aviation; here’s our travel correspondent “

Oh, sorry, apparently #SimonCalder doesn’t actually work for the #BBC

Don’t any other newspapers employ travel journalists, or is Mr Calder just too likeable?

Does he report more for the #Indy than he does for #Auntie?

So sorry to hear it, can you kindly email all details to SimonCalder@hotmail.com?
