Yvonne Nicholls (Letters, December 14) complains that JoAnne Goode's programme "is a nightmare every morning".

May I suggest Yvonne retunes to 103.5FM or 104.5FM and listens to John Radford instead? This is also BBC Southern Counties Radio.

John is laid-back, interesting and informative. The only thing that gets him going is South Central trains.

He has impeccable manners, is thoroughly professional and the news, sport, travel and weather bulletins are usually on time.

You will not hear John boring you rigid with his personal problems, plugging his mates or their businesses, talking over records, being rude to callers who don't agree with him or ridiculing colleagues on air.

John is on Monday to Friday and Sunday, 6-9am. On Saturdays, you will either have to turn off or go out like the rest of us.
