Vanessa Feltlz on LBC

Shelagh is due back today.
I listen to LBC quite a bit.
My favourite presenters are Ian Payne, Ben Kentish and Tom Swarbrick.
These three respond well to their callers and appear to be understanding and kind people.

I find her style of presentation very forced, and I can't listen to her for long. To me she sounds like she is jollying on a class of sluggish pupils. I am relieved that Shelagh is back soon.

I don’t like her voice and yes, very over top

Ms Feltz's style is too over-the-top and excitable a lot of the time. I couldn't bear her when she was doing a BBC breakfast show - it was a case of "calm down dear!"

Can’t stand her and her grating voice and her supercilious demeanour. Simply awful.

She's a real survivor, is Vanessa.

Like several others I much prefer her to Jeremy Vine.

And she's obviously very intelligent

That'll be the double first in English Literature then?

I love her.

Strictly didn't work for her though.

Not
Keen on her but wish her well.

I thought she was OK before watching her on a series of Celebrities Go Dating. She was really rude to some of the dates set up for her and came across as very entitled.

Yes, BlueBelle - condescending.

Vanessa Feltz is just very annoying she doesn't strike me as very bright either to be honest.
She isn't as rigid as Shelagh Fogarty who bullies people by pushing her opinions it seems to me.

I wouldn't choose to listen to either of them!

Not a lady I would listen to.

Ii don’t really like Vanessa or her voice she always comes across as rather condescending although I m sure she’s a clever woman much prefer Sheila who talks sense in a less preachy way
I like Ian Payne early morning except when he gets hung up on sport or films

Like LBC especially Nick Abbott and Clive Bull. Dislike James O'Brian. He likes the sound of his own voice and will not let callers speak.

I like her too but she must have improved with age because I didn’t like her years ago when she was on that morning show, I think she took over from Kilroy.

Shelagh not Sheila.
Sorry. Irish spelling.

By the way Sheila is back this week.
So perhaps it was not planned leave.
Or she's been reading GN and getting concerned at preference expressed for VF.

Women transport pilots were killed doing war work including one Amy Johnson who died in the Thames estuary after being shot down.
She heard to cry out to the search and rescue boat
Please come quickly.
More recently it has been suggested the delay was deliberate so as not to give information to the enemy with lighting up the craft and location.

I can't stand Dan Walker due to the fact he lied to his daughter about women's part in WWII. the small girl had asked why there were no women's names on a memorial. He decided to lie and say there were many female pilots. He could have been honest and explained how brilliant the women had been, how they'd fly the planes to where they were needed, but no. He just made some waffle up which she will find it to be untrue.

He hadn’t wished to expose his two daughters to the ‘grim realities of pre-20th century gender relations’.

Maybe he should have taken her to see the war graves all over Europe.

Sheila Fogarty is wonderful, but I am afraid that Vanessa Felz makes me feel very uncomfortable. She sets me on edge. Probably since all the lies about losing so much weight naturally just with willpower and she lied about having gastric banding.

I find her somewhat full on and wonder what she is on at times!

I quite like Vanessa but she does "off she goes" on a subject where she won't stop rabbiting and the guest can't get a word in.

Sorry, can’t bear her. I really miss Shelagh Fogarty, I like her speaking voice, and mostly have the same views as she does. She just seems to be a thoroughly decent person. Hope she’s back next week.

Going off track, but talking about different presenters.

I listen to Classic FM, and don’t care for Dan Walker who now does the Breakfast Show.

Much prefer it when he’s on holiday, and Aled Jones covers for him.

Sorry Dan.
