Humph

'When a great man dies we are all diminished' - said, if I recall correctly, of a largely useless but fabulously wealthy aristocrat, the Duke of Newcastle. But it is not often one can say reading the obits that someone's death will affect you for the worse. Such however is the case with Humphrey Littleton, whose unique broadcasting style was the voice tinged with regret that he had ever had anything to do with it.

End of an era.
