Stuart Maconie vs Sally Traffic

[madal]

Has anyone noticed thew friction tween Stuart and Sally whenever he stands in on the 5pm slot? For the 2nd time trhis year Sally has taken the 2nd week off, this time going as far as to say, " I have had enough of you to be frank".

I don't listen regularly enough to form a definite opinion, but I always find Sally Boseman really irritating. She is almost incapable of getting through a sentence, never mind an entire report, without stumbling over words. I find her 'character' rather tedious, and I far prefer Bobbie Pryor who has a lovely voice, deilvers the info correctly, and gets off air.

It may be that SB doesn't understand Stuart's dry northern sense of humour?

Mm, I noticed that, but why do they give Ms Traffic so much air time? Surely Chris or Stuart are the main honcho's there, she should be lucky she has the position she does with such an irritating BBC accent. Although I understand she is quite well liked. I can understand not getting the Northern humour though!

She was great with Johnnie Walker.

Bring back Johnnie!

[andy-hughes]

No - they were 'great' because they both made equally mundane conversation with each other.

Give her someone with a bit of life and spark and (gasp!) intelligence, and the poor woman is lost!

I agree with most of what has been said.
I really don't understand the need to involve the traffic folks in the chat unless they add something to the show.
The Lynne Bowles/ Ken Bruce partnership used to drive me crackers - inane banter with unnecessary nasal retorts. However now that she is on with Wogan she is easier to listen to.
I never enjoyed listening to Johnny Walker but he and Sally did at least seem to have a genuine relationship.
