I am disappointed to hear BBC Southern Counties Radio presenter Bill Rennalds' contract is not to be renewed. This must be devastating news to many people who, like myself, have been impressed with his kind and caring attitude towards lonely people who look upon him as a friend.

We are instead to have a presenter from Solent who is an immature mummy's boy and talks a load of drivel. Until now he has been inflicted upon Sussex listeners only at the weekend.

Has anyone started a petition to protest about this?
