A particularly nasty poster. Never has a good word to say about anybody.Just seen a new low for DS on the Steve Allen thread.
Paul Bexfield, known as 'Paul from Manchesterford' , name being taken in vein to bad mouth Steve Allen. Someone he adored. Paul would have been disgusted.
(Paul died a little while ago for those who don't know him)
I'm livid that poster made such a remark but you are right in that they are particularly nasty.A particularly nasty poster. Never has a good word to say about anybody.
Steve mentioned Paul's death and sounded genuinely sorry. He'd been very kind to Paul, keeping in touch with him over the years, especially when he lost his father.
I used to listen to the FtM podcast, and enjoyed it. That was when I used to have to do a tube journey to London (and back) once a week. It fitted the time perfectly, until it over-ran.Not sure if anyone listens to For the Many with Iain Dale, but he doesn't think it'll be a weekend slot.
I think he may be an hour a night 6-7, where Farage used to be before his termination.
Yes and wrong as Paul had a high regard for Steve Allen which the poster is trying to misrepresent.A particularly nasty poster. Never has a good word to say about anybody.

A BIT? To make her Culture Secretary is the most ridiculous postings of recent times.Yeah but Nadine is a bit unhinged.
I did !! But not the dates. He was often interviewed on the tv.I didn't know that former LBC presenter Dickie Arbiter was the Queen's Press Secretary from 1988 to 2000.
I think it means interviewing people as guests on his shows rather than with the In Conversation slot.Anyone know how long Steve has been doing the in conversation shows for? He was talking about his mother asking him who he had interviewed that day, way back when she was alive. By that I am guessing he was doing those shows for more than a couple decades given he said his dad died in his 50s and his mum died in her early to mid 60s.
Wow you have been listening since the early 90s. That's impressive. Has his voice and style changed much in that time?I think it means interviewing people as guests on his shows rather than with the In Conversation slot.
The In Conversation slot has only been going since about 2009. Before that it was a music based request show with chat, a bit like Desert Island Discs. I think that had been going since the station relaunch in 2003.
Before that, way back in the very early nineties, I remember him talking on the show about his mother being ill and visiting her in the hospice. She must have passed shortly after this. If in her early sixties and she had him in 1954, I reckon she would have been born in about 1930.
@Lambeth Walk, @Maggie Moggy and @The Big One have been listening to LBC longer than that! They go go waaaaaaay back.Wow you have been listening since the early 90s. That's impressive. Has his voice and style changed much in that time?
He said the other day that his mortgage is almost paid off. I think it was January or February is his last mortgage payment, and he said he had lived in Twickenham for 25 years I think it was, so I'm guessing his parents lived in London too at that time?
You raise a good point Fenella. Was anyone here listening from the beginning of LBC?@Lambeth Walk, @Maggie Moggy and @The Big One have been listening to LBC longer than that! They go go waaaaaaay back.
I've been listening to LBC and Steve Allen since about 2003'ish. I'm a newbie
Steve was a news reader and sometimes he plays some of the old clips of him reading the news. He sounds very different. His voice is a lot deeper and obviously a lot more serious. It sounds very odd.
He's lived all over the place as his father was in the RAF. You must have heard blathering on about Hong Kong? He seems to have been nearly paying off his mortgage since forever.
Lol...yes. He's said in the past that in the early days as a newsreader, he used to want to try and make his voice sound as butch as possible like the Barratt's Housing bloke in the adverts, but he eventually realised you had to be yourself and not put it on.@Lambeth Walk, @Maggie Moggy and @The Big One have been listening to LBC longer than that!

Good old Rebartic. He always likes to put Brian right. The man needs constant correction.So frequent Twitter user James O'Brien is complaining about the Prime Minister using Twitter?
Perhaps he has been rattled by this.
