I envy your experience at Bush House. As a youngster, I mimicked newsreaders on the World Service to improve my English, eventually becoming an announcer on the English radio service of Radio Television Hong Kong. My dream to work for the BBC never materialised, although I did visit Bush House for an interview to join the Chinese service. I left broadcasting for another career long before the decommissioning of Bush House, so chances of ever working of the BBC were non-existent anyway. Even then, the demise of Bush House as the iconic home of the World Service put the proverbial nail into the coffin in which my dream is buried.
