Sunday afternoon, rain almost horizontal, so was looking to tackle a mountain of ironing listening to Radio 2! No more, I'm afraid, I just cannot stand that awful laugh of Elaine Paige, more like a witch's cackle, just dreadful. She's not alone, either, since Carole Vorderman has joined Radio Wales on a Saturday lunchtime, and she is equally as bad, laughing at her own jokes and everyone else's in an ear grating tone. Bring on Classic FM ASAP!

I must have mellowed with age as I really like listening to Tony Blackburn now. I used to find his corny jokes and chat so embarrassing when I was getting ready for school back in the day. My mum was a fan of his, so no chance of switching off.

Elaine Paige! Cannot stand that snorting laugh. Usually turn the radio off within the first 5 minutes of her programme.

I’ve secretly been in love with Johnnie Walker since the 1960s and his time on Radio Caroline. He’s been through a lot health-wise but that voice of his is as strong as ever.

It seems I am Elaine Page’s only fan!!!!. I find laughter infectious whoever is laughing. I’ve asked around and yep none of my friends or family like her either.

My DH can’t stand her show because of the show tunes so I listen in with earphones whilst he listens to radio 5 live on earphones.

She made a joke today...... there are almost no jokes about white sugar and brown sugar well demarara She then went straight into a show tune and didn’t laugh on air so she must have heard that no one likes her laughter. Bet she was busting her guts off air though as was I
The old ones are the best.....jokes I mean ?

I have to switch off the radio when Elaine Page broadcasts. I can’t stand her chuckle either.
