Talking about the brit announcers, anyone else can't stand the style? Not specifically F1/the sky bunch (Karun, brundle, diresta, kravitz are fine, shouty crofty makes my ears bleed).
But I've noticed on other series, the british announcers have a very particular style: They never stop talking/shouting all race long. A 2 second pause is like a deduction on their paycheck or something - it's almost like a barrett jackson auctioneer at some point. They never ever shut up. They rarely speak normally either, mostly shouting excitedly even if nothing is happening. When one stops for a breath, another takes over to cover the potential horrible silence.
I was watching the 911 supercup race in Austria after F1, and I just had to pick the no commentator feed. So nice and relaxing (with F1 I'd like more info though)... Thankfully the F1 feed now has quieter folks (palmer, sam something, etc) - I miss Karun chandock from the espn feed but that's it. Or the old days of matchett and varsha -because the brits will just never STFU and make my ears bleed. Even my kids the other day were asking why the guy was shouting all the time ;-)
