It worked well a presenter needn't be a top-ex player.

I wish she would pronounce the 't' at the end of words.....

Are they examples of Glottal Stops or do they only occur in the middle of words, such mo'or or bu'er instead of motor and butter ? As a licence payer I expect a higher vocal standard from my presenters !

Sky did a preview the other week where the geezer said ‘ever’on. I was disgusted.

Seems like this type of vocal misuse is something that TV heads promote nowadays. Symptomatic of a drop in public standards in general.

Years ago she'd have been taught to say 'The water in Majorca doesn't taste quite like it ought to'.

She is barely adequate as a presenter and quite how people with poor diction get presenting jobs is beyond me.

I can’t believe that she is the best presenter available if Lineker isn’t around.

I used to have an American girlfriend and I used to tease her as to why she (and many, if not most, of Americans) pronounced double 't' in the middle of words as a double 'd'.

Re: Alex Scott on Match of the Day

Just me then

The presenter just has to say "What did you think of that" so set it up for the ex-profesionals it's the least important job.

I'd much rather that than have her commentating or being the expert talking through the tactics.
