Anyone agree with me that he is over enthusiastic and too intense to listen to? :mad:
Or is it me?
BBC, please tell Robert Peston to calm down. I find it impossible to listen him, which is a shame, as I am sure he has a lot of valuable contributions to make.:rolleyes:
Calm down Robert!:yawn:

As regards Robert Peston - no, not at all.
The main problem for me is that he rushes sentences and puts in pauses where you don't expect them. He also can't control the volume of his voice, which goes up and down all over the place. Not very easy to follow on a news report.

Yep, it's you alright

Not at all - I love it. Feels more natural. Better then left or right centered! Do you feel a new thread comin' on?
Glad I'm not the only one. You hit on something re: his voice volume. I can't listen to him. I feel so sorry for the news readers when he is in the studio. They must have to take Nurofen when he has finished!
Totally...you are so correct. The only other reporter who scared me was Joshua Rosenburg, anyone remember? He was bald with the beard. Scary man...however...Robert Peston now takes the crown. Highly irritating and headache inducing!
How strange you should broach this subject as I too have suddenly become aware as to how annoying his voice and delivery is, especially when he now seems to be on the radio and TV so frequently. In some ways he seems more annoying on the radio because there is no visual distraction.
No doubt another clever man but extremely tiresome to listen to.
Agreed. I am sure he is a very intelligent and knowledgable reporter, but his delivery and presentation totally detracts from the information he is trying to impart. I find I just switch off from listening to him and look forward to the line... "Robert Peston...thank you very much. Moving on..."
Come on Robert, sort it out!
Robert Peston was on BBC News 24 a few minutes ago.
Now just imagine not already knowing about him, being told he's the BBC's business Editor, presenting the 1st story of the day, and him telling you your bank is in trouble in those psycho -dramatic tones!
Is it any wonder he'd cause a run on any bank.
These idiot business journalists (along with the govt.) precipitating events for the sake of some air-time.
Kind regards,

He makes me not only want to leave the room, but the planet.
Oh no i wasn't trying to be offensive if he can't help it, that's fine! I thought he was doing it on purpose:o Sorry to anyone like that
I totally agree with you matey.
