newsophile1 post since 15 Mar 2018 new member 15 March 2018 9:49am Yorkshire Look North (Yorkshire) Am I alone in finding Shirley Henry's reporting over the top delivery a distraction? Her breathless, over enthusiastic delivery does her no favours. News reports should not sound and look like an audition for a local amateur production of The Importance of being Earnest. Permalink

Last week, we had three over the five days if my memory serves me right., I would say that Shirley Henry is one of the better ones. There are some very poor ones. Permalink
