Nihal Arthanayake Radio 5

[Former Labour leader]

I am an avid Radio 5 listener but I can no longer listen to Nihal Arthanayake afternoon edition ,I find him so over the top ,too many false wow's ,man , yeh , i'm wiv you ,Essex type chat every time someone says something ,his half hearted ghetto-talk is dreadful.

Yes i'm getting old ,and pine for Peter Allen , I'm okay with but do find him a tough listen,thankfully Sarah Brett and Tony Livesey rescue the afternoon .

When I first started listening a young woman from Wem in Shropshire was host in the afternoon. Can't remember her name but she was great. Can't stand current crowd and never listen in afternoons.
Peter Alan was a giant compared with these pygmies, although I do like Nicki (golden shot) Campbell.
