It's a shame that this sort of attitude seems to be one of the past.
Whenever I've given my resignation, I've never had to work my notice because they walked me out the door, so to speak.

I get that the BBC want to appeal to a younger demographic but Vernon Kaye is almost 50.

And in his departing statement, Ken said the BBC is the finest broadcasting organisation in the world. Can’t dispute that Ken knows his stuff.
Professional and controlled down to his departure from Wogan House for the last time. I hope he had a quiet cry away from the cameras and mike.
I was WFH yesterday so listened to his show. It’s clear he’s not a bloke who wanted a big fanfare for his last show. All very understated and professional to the last. I’m sure it will be very strange working in different studios and getting used to playing adverts.

Gary Davies is worse than Smashy and Nicey, the bloke is a cunt who's never done a days work in his fraudulent life.

Borg is sitting in for Coxy. Phil Williams is sitting in for Borg and Gary Davies sitting in for Vernon Kay on Radio Dull.
