Plain speaking nowadays is constantly under threat & when someone speaks their mind (and if we're honest, it's also the view of quite a lot of other people, but those others daren't or are to scared to air their views for fear of being branded some kind of "ist") the false outrage is hypocritical to say the least.

Have to agree with you Dave, don't like Clarkson but I smile at his effect on people.

I dislike Jeremy Clarkson and the other two idiots, John Cleese makes me want to slap him, Lee Evans and anything slapstick, Gordon Ramsay annoys me, the list goes on!!!

Yes what was it about Charlie Drake, I know what you mean! Also Lee Evans and slapstick. Lady Gaga too, but don't know Keith Lemon so can't comment, but Marg P obviously feels the same way.

Jay, Gynn beat me to it in correcting you about Alan Sugar - can't really see him doing Countown - it's Nick Hewer, his sidekick. Never watched the programme, couldn't stand Carol Vorderman.

Too many of them screech and I just have to switch off.
I choose not to find out their names. No doubt some of you regard them as 'celebrities'. I prefer to pretend they don't exist.

Couldn't agree more Margaret.
Others I can't stand: Ant and Dec, Graham Norton, Alan Carr, Michael McIntyre, Gok Wan, "dynamic property experts Kirstie Allsopp and Phil Spencer", Jamie Oliver, Carol Vorderman see above.
Some of those slated on here I do like: Jeremy Paxman, Adrian Chiles when he talks about football, James May on anything, Gordon Ramsay.
Think that's enough to be going on with though there are one or two presenters on Radio 3 who really get up my nose but probably a bit highbrow to mention on here...
