Sara Cox please just stop!!!

actually scott mills

I have to be honest here. I have always preferred a man's voice on the radio. On the flip side, I prefer women's singing voices. I wonder if men find the female DJ's as irritating?

Who is Steve Mills?

I don't think she hides that though? I don't listen religiously but even I know her family lived in the country, and she had and has horses. I think people think because she has a northern accent she has to have had a family down the mines with a whippet on a string.

Ahhh

I hate most noises so to get back to the OP, that foghorn and wowowowowow half-wower shite from Cox pisses me off too.

And for the PP hung up on sisterhood, Scott Mills "love ya bye" is also irritating

The absolute worst thing about this show id the am dram voicenotes from people who are in some performance in a local theatre in Rhyl or somewhere. Especially the ones who do the whole voicenote in the fake American accent because they are playing someone from Guys and Dolls!

I like Vernon Kay and think he's really good, but his high pitched laughing and this drive me nuts!
Is it from an Oasis song?

Not heard her for 20 years but always disliked her, she has/had a terrible habit at the end of sentences of making a weird inhaling/sucking noise….sometimes mid sentences…like she was short of breath.

Oh for fucks sake people are allowed to dislike other people and talk about it!

What's the sunsheeeerine thing? I can't place it

He;'ll often be commenting on the weather and say the best weather will be in Cardiff etc which will have 7 hours of sunsheeeeine

We have radio 2 on at work when I work in the afternoons - catch the end of Jeremy VIne ranting about whatever, then Scott Mills who is bland but inoffensive, then Sara Cox at 4 makes me reach for the off switch. I'm not sure what it is about her which drives me nuts, she seems to have the idea that her "i'm mad, me" persona is funny and entertaining and it's just not.

I don't mind her so much on the telly, perhaps she's more constrained by the autocue.

So you can start a thread to talk about how annoying someone is yet I'm 'nastier' for saying it's a shitty thing to do. Okay...

I'm equally critical of men who gurgle and blabber on in baby voices. Not just Cox

So if you feel the thread is inappropriate you can report it for breaking talk guidelines

If not, who are you to tell people what to think

And as for supporting women because they're women. What nonsense

So don’t listen to her show then. There is no need to start a nasty thread over a scooby do voice and very little else.

Others do like her. Her show is very popular hence your license fee going towards her wages.

@herecomesautumn the thread was started to discuss how terrible the OP thinks Sara Cox is though, not other people. I see supporting as not using a public forum to do so, especially one where the person in question is target audience (you know a woman, a mum) it's just shitty. Aside why not support other women, it's a man's world let's at least not knock each other down!

Exactly this. Sara Cox has got me through many
a gloomy car journey from CAMHs with a glowering teenager in headphones next me. It’s such a lovely show, comforting, realistic with good music. I love her voice, humour, anecdotes and the way she follows her own style. She’s one of very few celebs I think are probably really lovely in RL too.

Lisa Tarbuck I love on long evening journeys and my husband will often put her on to cook alongside. Reminds me of home and she just makes me laugh and I even enjoy her qwerky music choices too.

Didn't realise how much I’ve grown to like Zoe Ball too until she was off recently. She is part of my morning commute and I can’t put my finger on why.She plays good music, is a good interviewer and I just like her realism, anecdotes and positivity to start the day.

All 3 have had hate threads. Why do women do this to other women? They are carving their way, bringing their own styles and make Radio 2 far less dull.

The thread covers lots of different people on the radio

Cox is annoying, it doesn't have anything to do with being a woman

And what's with the "supporting other women" stuff. Why?

I'll never understand these threads on Mumsnet just to tell us how much you hate a female celeb, of course some people will agree with you, others won't, you'll have some who are way too cool to listen to r2, some who will 'have to Google' (it's best when it's someone huge like TS)

I like Sara cox, she's down to earth, was very open about how she struggled to work after having kids, if fine to not like someone but just a bit shitty all this 'come over here and slag this woman off' thing. So much for supporting other women.

What's the sunsheeeerins thing? I can't place it

Agree about the cash register, it's really annoying

I love Ritchie too.

I wish Vernon would shut up with that "sunsheeeerins" nonsense.
That bloody cash machine noise drives me absolutely mad. He had a thing a couple of weeks ago to find an alternative. People phoned in with all manner of alternatives then he decided to keep it 😡
