This BBC News reporter was mistaken for a member of staff live on air and his fabulous response is today’s funniest thing
Here’s a thing of absolute wonder to put a spring in our step after a long – so very long – year.
It’s a moment from BBC News today when reporter and presenter Ben Boulos was discussing the economy live on air and he was mistaken by a shopper for a member of staff. And it’s just wonderful.

He’s having a mare this morning. He just called someone “fish” instead of their name; Steve.

To conclude …
“I don’t work here. I’m just doing the news.” is my favourite quote of the year, no question. I’m going to get so many miles out of this line it’s absurd. https://t.co/zS7gGuRVa6
