Always used to listen to Terry Wogan followed by Ken Bruce in the morning, didn't need to change station, then unfortunately they got the dreadful Chris Evans in to replace Terry, mornings were never the same again! Actually liked to listen to Sarah Green from 5.00, half the time she was p1ssed!

Reminds me i never use a radio as not heard of him. Hayden So you just saw the thread title and thought it sounded interesting  |

By:
Hayden, think that's finished it! I was thinking racing people only and the actual answer shud've been Raymond Cochrane! Think that would've finished it too.

Opened out of sheer curiosity , when you see a headline like that and have no idea who he is you have to take a look. |

By:
Hayden...Rob Bryden did a fair impression of Ken and even did his show one morning to see if anyone cottoned on
 I remember Sarah Kennedy sounding a bit one over the eight on the early show as well, Stewarts. |

Often listened to Popmaster,Ken was apparently on £385-390k a year,n0t bad for spinning a few tracks and an amiable chat or two for 3 hours 5 days a week,however isn't Zoe Ball on over double that? ffs.

fromthearse talking sh1te as ever. every survey asking english people what voice they like to hear on the other end of a phone scots or posh irish come top every time .............................................. This from the Daily Record, a Scottish paper I think. The top five most trustworthy accents are: Received Pronunciation (aka The Queen’s English) Yorkshire Welsh Geordie Edinburg |
|
By:
Top 2 ok, but the other 3, I can't understand what you're talking about.
|
|
By:
Received from the Bank of England big cheese I met at a wedding. The favoured accents for call centre workers, because they sound so friendly and helpful, are Edinburgh and area, Scotland and County Down Northern Ireland. Yorkshire never even got a mention. Owt!

Yorkshire sounds lazy
Liverpool sounds like clearing the throat ready to spit Oooooarghhhh is dreadful Birmingham sing to you…. Parts of London is full of muver bruver…favur….ffs… |

Blimey, I agree with Loyal Honcho, whose source is spot on with Edinburgh and district - Perfect English!!. Soft Geordie and Glasgee is good too.
What is remarkable is that most companies did not start telephone interviewing/recruiting for their Telephone Servicing staff until the late 1990's. Imagine doing face to face interviewing and recruiting someone without even hearing how they sounded over the phone, yet that was the norm. We used to have a saying, it you don't sound as though you are smiling, you ain't hired. If you think thats bo77ocks, think about the last customer service rep you spoke to on the phone. |
