I will never listen to Breakfast as long as she is presenting.
I see so many bright, well spoken, talented kids struggling to get any kind of a break in jobs such as the arts and media. They often carry a vast burden of debt from their university education. if they get a break, it may well be on something like minimum wage, and often after months of free labour given on "internships".
So seeing well connected people like CB-H getting endless opportunities, and apparently picking up plum jobs such as presenting" Breakfast" without any kind of open competition, sticks in my throat.
Apologies for the rant. But I really object to my license fee paying for what looks a lot like nepotism.
(I have also been boycotting Jeremy Vine for reasons I have long forgotten, for many years. Actually, you don't really need a reason).I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. My life is my own.
I am not a number, I am a free man.

As Wiki puts it:she attended St Paul's Girls' School and Westminster School before reading English at Magdalene College, Cambridge. Burton-Hill is a former scholar at the Royal College of Music, where she was the recipient of the Hugh Bean Violin Prize.Pacta sunt servanda !!!

When I was abput 14, I used to really look forward to Alan Keith on "Your 100 Best Tunes" on Radio 2 on Sunday evening.
But that was only once a week, with a warm and friendly presenter - rather like a kind father. The current R3 collection (I used a different word, but it wasn't at all hostly) appear to be several leagues lower down in presentation skills.
