The talks director of the British Broadcasting Corp. advises newcomers to the microphone to behave as if they were addressing a small family circle. The advice is frequently followed by speakers. though some have their own variations, For instance, Sir Samuel Hoare, the Home Secretary, always imagines he is sitting in a farmer's cottage in Norfolk, talking to the farmer and his wife.
