He didn't repeat it he just said something like "number ending in whatever who messaged about Sally, I know I rib her a bit but that's all jokey and you're absolutely disgusting" and proper went off on one
I heard that too, he was raging
 
Have they actually said where Ritchie has gone?! He seemed to disappear around the same time that Scott was sacked - I wondered if he had a strop in support of his work mate and has flounced off?!

Also how often do the radio show listening figures get published? It’ll be fascinating to see what comes out of all this mess at the moment!

I’m also fascinated by the traffic reports and how they decide what’s worth mentioning on a national station. It makes sense as a local feature.

He resurfaced and filled in for Trevor the week Trevor’s illness was announced but not been heard of since.

I really, really hope he’s not getting the teatime gig

Love Sally, I don't think everyone gets her humour in the tone of her voice. She'll be a great loss when she retires.
Has she mentioned retiring? Will it be soon? That will be a shame. Replacing her will be difficult. I don't know of any other travel reporters like her. She's a good part of the shows at this point.

Nothing has been mentioned but she is in her more senior years but is still very active but I'm sure at some point the time will come.

Anyone have any ideas on drivetime slot? Must be someone still in contract somewhere else. If it were to be OJ would have thought it would be announced by now.

They want a woman for the drive time slot I think, otherwise it's a long stretch of men between Sara at breakfast and Jo in the evening

The person the main news anchor on r1 throws to to most days (and is talking about the weather this morning) does my bleeping head in, his reports are always gramatically all over the place and he sounds like he can’t read?! Newsbeat has always been bad but is more patronising and irritating than ever now, it’s one of the main reasons I switched over to 2

Whatever happened to the nice Welsh chap who used to do the news and said "Bore da" as well as "good morning"? I miss him.

Is Greg getting time off in lieu this summer after working 30 minutes extra last year he was off at 10am this morning
 
if you like Steffan I can recommend Matt and Mollie’s ‘novel idea’ podcast because he reads it.

I decided R1 was no longer for me on account of Newsbeat explaining that the White House was where the US president lived…. Like WTF in the name of CBeebies?!
