I wonder if the BBC would take any notice of a complaint.
After all, with 60 million people to choose from in the UK, why should the BBC persist in employing a presenter whose voice is obviously no longer fit for purpose, just because he's been in the post for a long time?
One doesn't want to sound callous, and putting up with a temporary vocal affliction would be OK. After all most of us have a cold and perhaps a croaky throat for a few days at this time of year.
But Robinson's corncrake voice is obviously now a permanent fixture, for whatever reason. So he's had a good run, and it's obviously now time to pension him off.
Same goes for the ancient old retainer who does Gardener's Question Time on the Radio, and the piping voiced old boy who commentates the snooker.
