on the subject of verbal errors above ...

Juliet Foster once said 'thankyou David Crabapple' rather than 'David Crabtree'.

There was also a time when I was working where, when she thought the instruction 'Take SS' in a script (Take Still Store) was part of the text to be read out. This was because the story was about a ship or boat and she read Take SS pronounced as 'The Tarkay SS' as though it was the name of a ship. ie like in 'The Great Seafarer SS' or something.

There's also the story (hearsay) that when Tessa Sanderson was a sports reader years ago she read out 'Page Nine' as though it was the foreign name of a sportsman. ie pronounced as 'Paggenini'.

Hmmmmm.......loving it!

SNT - Charlie Stayt fits in quite well, IMO. Colin Brazier turned up on Sunrise today too. He was quite good. Pleasant change.

Yes, word has it that using a presenter who can actually do the job in hand is a better choice than a vastly overpaid buffoon who only knows how to say 'here's the top stories you're waking up to' every 15 minutes.

Why must all of your posts be filled with vitriol against one of Sky's presenters? Just say you don't like Eamonn Holmes, no need to be so tw*ttish in your response.

I didn't know I had posted much vitriol about Sky's presenters.
I think how I described Eamonn above is actually quite accurate and fairly polite.

I think what James is getting at is that you are consistent with your criticisms regarding Eamonn, and Eamonn only.

Talking of errors you have spelt her name wrong!!

'Juliette Foster' is the correct spelling...we all have off days as you have just proven!!

I know Juliette and I assure you that she is a very intelligent woman.

As for Martin and Allan and 'the brown side'...well you are talking out of it!

ok, I see.
I hadn't realised how much I may have have been slagging off Eamonn.
But hey, what a fiendish waste of money, hey ?

I'm sure she is. Don't doubt that. Also a presenter I generally rate quite highly.

I wondered if the poster was implying they are dating each other.
