Who are your favourites?

[Grizelda]

Some voices and accents drive me to the mute button. I like Rosa and Chunts because they are calm and quite low pitched with no desperate shouting and hectoring. For me, the best presenters/guests are the ones who make me forget it’s selly telly. That does NOT mean I want to hear inane drivel. Calm and pleasant does the trick.

Anne Dawson has a pretty accent, but the decibel level soon starts rising. She was practically shouting at Gok's yesterday and talking over
him time and again. Who wants her frumpy advice? He was good natured, however, and let her carry on. What did he really think of her, I wonder.

Yes totally with you on that... Angela Lansbury

Except when she pronounces 'white' as 'woit' and 'gold' as 'goald'. She's so obviously trying to be Kensington when she's really Whitechapel.

I do like Dale - he's a bit more old-skool and restrained than the others. Less hard sell, and he always comes across as affable and good-humoured. I used to strongly dislike Jill Franks, but since her voice issue has forced her to stop screeching and squawking, she's actually rather good.

My least favourite is probably Alison Keenan. I've never bought that folksy 'I'm just like you routine', and the woman is incapable of letting anyone else speak for more than a sentence before having to jump in with a inane comment or unnecessary interjection. She's constant blabbering on in the background and interrupting people's flow, which I find distracting and incredibly rude at times.

I agree with you about Dale. He's one of the better ones in my opinion.

If only Dale would cut out 'of course' ... it seems hard wired into his spiel.

She sounds Surrey to me...her accent is similar to my cousins. No idea if she is from Surrey, though.

Ah, yes. I did mean Angela Lansbury, but I may well have got my myself in a tizzy and responded to the wrong post......

Along with incredible. All his talk is adjective after adjective, very little content.

I like Anne, she's pure Glasgow and I like that. I've many friends in the West (I'm from Edinburgh) and the accents are completely different. She does ramble on a bit but "you know" they all do

When she is on, they need to show subtitles so I can understand her.

 

[loveallthingsitalian]

I have absolutely no problem understanding Anne!

 

[maymorganlondon]

I often find that if you don't expect to understand people it is easier to understand them. It might take a little more attention.

Kathryn Goldsmith is currently on the Kipling show, and is driving me nuts with her machine gun rapid fire delivery. Its back to GB News.

I can't understand much of what Simon Wilson says. Also, Glen mumbles.
