OVERDOSE OF AUNT DAISY?
Sir,-As a regular listener to broadcast entertainment since 1926, I have never written criticising radio programmes for two reasons: (a) Because I am, more or less, a satisfied listener. (b) Because there is always a knob to turn, and one can generally satisfy one’s mood of the moment. Also, I realise that programmes must be atranged to suit people of very varied tastes,
I am of the opinion, however, that the big majority of evening listeners do not wish to be surfeited with garrulous firsthand accounts of "Aunt Daisy" eating hamburgers on Fifth Avenue, hot-dogs on Forty-Second Street, or the miraaulous discovery of a packet of "Soandso’s" tea in an out-of-the-way Pacific store, I am basing this opinion, not only on my own personal annoyance, but on that o* others with whom I have conversed. The last thing I wish to do is to start a controversy in your pages on the pros and cons of "Aunt Daisy," but surely three times a day is an overdose of her loquacity, and we should not have
to suffer it invading our evening entertainment. She may be acceptable to her regular. followers, but for goodness sake confine her to her morning session.
LITTLE SIR ECHO
