Reading the news

Sir, – Has anyone else noticed a growing trend by some radio presenters to give Equal. Emphasis. To. Each. And. Every. Word. They. Read. In. A. Script. As. Though. Teaching. A. Child. To. Read? Is this a new fashion? Whatever happened to “joined-up” speech? Have. Robots. Taken. Over. The. Airwaves? – Yours, etc,
