Talk:Simon Mayo

message: "Twenty years later, Simon presents the daily Drivetime show on BBC Radio 2 - and the confessions segment is back. Now those guilty listeners who missed their chance first time around have joined with a whole new generation of sinners in begging for clemency from Father Mayo. Their confessions are as hilarious as ever."
really? please.

Indeed with "one of the most recognised and respected voices of radio in the UK" is a bit much.  I know plenty of people who think he is an annoying and patronising git! Steve 02:22, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Bit too sycophantic???

message: I have a copy of the old On This Day in History book, where in the introduction he mentions the history lessons he used to sit through when he was at Worthing High School, but this article makes no mention of him ever having lived or been educated in Worthing?

thread_title: Worthing?

message: I heard him for the first time this week and its clear he is one of those people who is a "christian" before everyting else. That self-righteous tone does come through on his shows and is kind of irritating. We are supposed to be a secular country and i've yet to see or hear Atheism biased broadcasting from the BBC because presumably that would offend those who believe.  A good part of radio 2 and 4 output seems to be pro Christian and now radio 5 ?    The logic that its OK to run down Harry Potter but not God when neither exist is hardly conducive to an intelligent  free thinking secular society  ?

text: I fail to see how this has anything to do with the subject matter.  Furthermore, England has an established Church; this is not a secular state.  Attention to spelling and grammar wouldn't go amiss.  23:06, 10 October 2009 (UTC)
