John Parry should aim his pen at our local station, Southern Counties Radio.

The lady newsreader is excellent and obviously well-trained. The same could not be said for Marcus, who reads the traffic news.

It would seem he has not been trained by the BBC. He has copied Joanne Good, who just gabbles everything she says, and he cannot string his sentences together so everything flows properly.

I was always of the opinion all news readers on the BBC, including commentators, went to classes before being let loose on us.

Come on Marcus, get your act together.
