It seems I'm one of the few people who didn't mind Jo Whiley all that much, mainly because I liked the Live Lounge perhaps but she wasn't a terrible DJ either and she wasn't all about cheap laughs at the expense of others.

Moyles isn't funny for the most part and Mills is just a skinnier unfunny version of Moyles so that's a less than auspicious sign yet somehow they're both keeping their jobs. Justice in the World? Pah.

Unfortunately, since November (when I bought the Golf), I haven't been able to listen to Radio 1 in the mornings anymore. I really enjoy listening to The Chris Moyles Show a lot. I also like Scott Mills, Sara Cox & Edith Bowman. I'd actually rather that there was less music and more chat on Radio 1. They only play bloody awful stuff anyway, so why not just replace it with talk?

Couldn't be more glad that Jo Whiley is going, because I can't stand her. She's so up herself it's unbelievable. My only hope is that she doesn't start doing more voiceovers for adverts. Fern Cotton, however, is a very poor replacement. Her voice makes my ears bleed.

Even Sam likes Radio 1... It seems I'm alone in disliking it

Well the French don't have taste anyway

I'd sooner stick rusty nails in my eye balls than listen to Radio 1, so you're not alone

I swear I managed to tune into Radio Choufleur in France once. It was hard to tell with my limited french and all the static though.

Heh, true. French radio is pretty bad.

BTW, I think it's spelt chou-fleur but the garlic muncher would know better than me

There are a handful of decent French radio stations, however I concur they are pretty poor - but the German radio stations are the worse!

I try to block German radio out of my mind. I had to listen to it on a drive from Frankfurt to Munich because I'd forgotten the FM transmitter for my iPod and the 4 pot whine from under the bonnet was driving me nuts.
