I dont know about anyone else on here, but I love Everard Daveys news bulletins in the morning. He keeps me listening until Toby comes on!

He is trouble for swearing yesterday, I didnt hear him swear, but I did hear him apologise.

I just wanted to come on here to show some support and hope any disciplinary action the BBC take will not result in him not being on any more

It's not big and it's not clever.

What did he say? Pooh? Pants? Bosoms? Enlighten us and kick this filth merchant off the air.

Incidentally, what station was this? Ohh, Mary Whitehouse would sort him out I'll tell yer.

:rant: :rant: :rant: :o

I think I'd swear if I had as many kids as he has.

Radio sheffield is the station you're looking for the station for old fuddy duddies, seven kids eh and how many chickens, no wonder he swears :P
radio sheffield the home to the great Alex Hall
:clap:

Didn't listen but only read it in the Star. This was part of Antonia's show and he was giving his thoughts on Jeremy Clarkson.

Dont listen to the station apart from Football Heaven but with any presenter mistakes can happen!!

Come on then, what did he say :confused: :confused: :confused:

Colin Murray swore on Radio 1 in the afternoon a month or two ago, the 's' word, and no action was taken against him since he apologised.. :loopy:

I am lead to believe it was the "W" word which rhymes with tanker when describing Jeremy Clarkson :)

Good old Everard, truthful as ever :D :D :D

I agree with Carmine, no slanderous comments :thumbsup:

Crikey, that's the worst part of Radio Sheffield.

I never thought it would be possible to fill 60 minutes of airtime with drivel about Rotherham United and Doncaster rovers...but they somehow manage it :thumbsup:

Anyway, back to the thread. Everard Davey isn't nearly as annoying as Toby Foster.

Oh come, everyone makes mistakes. I'm a DJ myself for a hospital and i have not sworn on air, but come on. He is respected for what he does and should be given a second chance.

I would never have thought Everard would use that word on air. My respect for him has soared - I love a rebel. He's possibly spotted a gap in the market for a Roger Moffat figure. Keep it up, Evarard, and I may just start tuning in. :thumbsup:

I completely agree.

When I was involved in Community Radio part of my job was to wade through hours of tapes after we received complaints from teh Radio Authority about bad language on air.

There were a couple of listeners who seemed to enjoy causing trouble and would pick up on the slightest bit of bad language or even a non-radio mic of a song played late at night and report the station.

If the RA decided to get ratty, we could have ended up with a GBP 5000 fine or even be taken off the air. We had to send the section of the program where the language was reported to the RA, who would then judge whether the report was justified.

Fortunately we were never fined but picked up a couple of warnings - I think that stations today seem to be able to get away with more bad language than we did.

The general form for our station was that if someone swore on air they would apologise immediately. We had our fair share of 'cock ups' when mics were left open and the last words heard were.. "That mike's not on...****...it is!"

I once managed to play the non-radio mix of a rap song - that was entertaining. :)

I think that if the guy apologies then I don't see the problem. If he carries on using abusive language just to get a 'name' then I think that a more severe slap would be warranted. A true professional doesn't need to swear to be good at his job.

I'll say. He doesn't even sound like a Yorkshireman :o

Toby Foster? He's the BEST thing that's ever happened to Radio Sheffield. I've stopped listening because he's on air when I'm at work. Bugger !!!

Nah, that's Antonia Brickell - the lady with the sexy gravelly voice, ooooh yesssss :love:

Antonia? I would use the word inept, but that would be too kind.............no wonder Toby dumped her ................

So will I

Yes I heard Everard swear on Monday morning and was a bit surprised at his outburst. I only listen to Radio Sheffield first thing on my clock radio and was dissappointed when Everard stopped doing the morning programme ( that Toby Foster did my head in). Whenever Antonia asks his opinion on something before he reads the news he always seems to go off on one like a Grumpy Old Man, I wonder if it's because she's got his job.

I like the show by the way, and ignore Abdul's comment he's just an ignorant buttock :D

Yes, I noticed this too. Everard reminds me of Grandpa Simpson :hihi:

Toby Foster..........one of the best comedians this country has produced for years ...............He's honest..........provocative.........winds you up if you are stupid enough to not realise it............but...........it all comes from the heart..........nothing false about him...............have to say ..........I agree with nearly everything he says ..........What a MAN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Words of wisdom there, mr cloudy.

...but why was he gulping for air between each sentence? Breathe man, breathe!

Must have been the gun held to his head :suspect:

Either that or he was over exited due to posting with Toby's signed photo on his lap. Toby, you have a stalker. Close your blinds at night. ;)

Ms Cloudy, If you don't mind Mr Foster.............Ignore them Toby, posting on this Forum is sometimes like feeding Caviar to Pigs............

Of course I apologised but they said it was far too little, far too late! *****!

Never call yourself a pig, it does your self confidence no good at all. :nono:

I think he should be booted straight off the air for swearing

Anyone who chooses to mutter the words "Jeremy Clarkson" live on the wireless deserves all that's coming to them.

Christ, what next? He'll be able to mutter "Cilla Black" or "jim Davison" without anyone taking it up with him.

What a C@@t!

I don't actually know what the fuss was about.

it was a mild swear word... dear god! i've heard worse.... in fact I have USED worse!
(yes, vitriol has dripped from my well-spoken and ladylike tongue! lol)

it's not like folk don't swear in rl, is it?

PT

didnt hear it myself but anyone can slip, but as a broadcaster he should be aware of the do's dont's, but i dont think he should be sacked

Everard should have known better, but it's Antonia Brickell that had control at that time, and she will have also come into trouble with the RA.

I wonder were Antonia is these days ? Holiday ? She seems to come and go as she pleases, off one day, in the next, just recovering from a cold etc. If she worked for me I would have sacked her.

Perhaps she has "been asked to leave", she wasn't the sharpest tool in the box, and often offensive to other (mainly females who had done well) people she interviewed. One would be well advised to listen to what Antonia says, then do the opposite. And as for Antonia's hair, well, Clowns have been known to look more stylish.
