Listening to radio 1 with kids about

AIBU to expect to be able to have radio 1 on in the morning while we have breakfast without having the kids hearing things like "can't be arsed" or "crap" both of which I wouldn't want my children repeating. Am I just a total prude? I realise that being the wrong side 30 I'm too old for radio 1 but still...

You're the wrong side of 16 to be listening to radio 1.

FrankelInFoal · 14/11/2013 19:24

It's time to head over to Radio 2.....

I've been there since Moyles left R1

YABU to listen to Radio 1 in the morning full stop.

I caught five minutes of Grimshaw while in the newsagent one morning. Grim is right. What a twat Grin

It is tricky, mind you I was listening to radio 4 this evening and "crap" etc was used on a programme. It can be hard to avoid these things!

bitemabum · 14/11/2013 19:31

Mmm as I suspected the world has moved on and left me with ken Bruce! Don't get me wrong I swear like a trooper but I thought there were rules about these things

I have listened to Radio2 and Radio4 for years. I don't really relate to radio1 anymore. I am 31

Meglet · 14/11/2013 19:33

Yanbu. I love radio 1 but I don't like the swearing. We only have radio 1 on in the car so I usually turn it down inbetween songs.

bitemabum · 14/11/2013 19:40

I love radio 4 but it's a bit dreary first thing.

I have radio 4 for wake up and bedtime.

Yankeecandlequeen · 14/11/2013 19:46

Radio 1? didn't realise it still had listeners.

bitemabum · 14/11/2013 19:50

Bedtime is 4 all the way but the kids like abut of cheesy music to start the day, 2 has rubbish music and I can't bear adverts on the radio but maybe better than my dd arriving at school stating that she "can't be arsed"

Radio 6 is the answer.

cbaanymore · 14/11/2013 20:31

I love radio 1 and I'm 52, I prefer the music to the other oldie stations but I agree some of the chatter is stupid. More music less chat please.

GirlWithTheDirtyShirt · 14/11/2013 20:31

Radio 2 is fucking awful. Dreadful music and often dull DJ's - the ex Radio 1 bunch being notable exceptions.

It's no alternative for those of us being chased away from Radio 1.

I don't really mind the minor swear words. I Think of them more like lazy language really. DD is picking up a Brummie accent, I worry about that far more!

Yama · 14/11/2013 20:33

Yes, Radio 6 is the answer.

kerala · 14/11/2013 20:34

I had to complain about Radio 4. Was picking DH up from station with both DDs in the car it was 6.30pm and their play included words like prick and bugger. Brushed off my complaint though Hmm

NedZeppelin · 14/11/2013 20:35

6music all the way. It's fab and for old fogeys who still like a decent tune

DoItTooJulia · 14/11/2013 20:38

Nothing wrong with a brummie accent!

bitemabum · 14/11/2013 20:39

Love radio 6 but sometimes find I'm not quite ready for it first thing. Really enjoy mark Radcliffe,and the other one who's name escapes me, in the afternoon. When did it become ok to say crap and arse and prick at any time of the day?

Think you are going over the top to be honest.

bitemabum · 14/11/2013 20:41

And I love a brumbies accent by the way. Very warm accent I always thought.

Sorry for spelling, on my phone, shit keyboard, fat fingers.

I want the chat of Radio 2 with the music of Radio 1.
Alternatively a p45 for Grimshaw would suffice.

chalkythecat · 14/11/2013 20:45

I like Classic FM. Better class of presenter... Wink
