I read in the papers yesterday that the BBC had removed listeners' critical comments from their website about Sarah Kennedy on her early-morning show, a spokesman saying: "We're now having a little hiatus on the 'Sarah knocking,' because it's seen to be a form of online harassment."

Well, on this morning's showing, I'm not surprised she's getting criticised.

Did you hear her at about 7.20am talking about Eurostar, and the fact that for the first three months of 2008 there has been a 20 per cent increase in passenger numbers since the London terminal moved from Waterloo to St Pancras? She said something along the lines of: "I wonder why everybody's moving up from Waterloo to St Pancras - it's strange that, isn't it?"

What about the 75 per cent of the UK population who live north of St Pancras, let alone Watford? I could have understood her comments if she had been presenting a local radio show in the London area, but this is supposed to be national radio, for heaven's sake.

ah!! I don't often listen in nowadays as I have got a DAB radio and it's stuck on Radio 5, but I used to enjoy listening to her 'witter' on to her female producer, sometimes 'getting it wrong' can happen, but she makes a change from the usual male banter.

I think she's great and is not known to sit on the fence with her comments (which I find myself agreeing with).

She rumbles through the morning newspapers at 6.45 and half an hour later there's the 'It's Show Time' slot which usually feature songs from musicals, some quite rare.

I like her and wish her show was longer which would mean less of the predictable Mr Wogan.
